The Nasarawa State Government has issued a strong warning against the encroachment and illegal exploitation of its gazetted reserves, emphasizing its readiness to take decisive action against offenders.
The warning came from the State Commissioner for Environment and Natural Resources, Hon. Isaac Danladi, during a courtesy visit by representatives of the NGO, ACReSAL popularly known as Liquid Power Limited held in his office on Monday.
Hon. Danladi expressed deep concern over the unlawful activities of individuals encroaching on government owned forests and reserves for selfish interests.
