Edo State government has called for support and collaboration of all stakeholders to restore and preserve forest reserves in the state.

The Chief of Staff to Governor Godwin Obaseki, Osaigbovo Iyoha, gave the charge during a one-day technical session with the theme, ‘Promoting Forest Management for Sustainable Social and Economic Development in Edo State.’

He said: “The forest is very important to our existence; it ensures the sustainability of our wildlife, economy, energy and international trade.“Logging, which is a major part of deforestation, needs to be regulated, as there is huge potential in the industry. If we work together, we can ensure a suitable process is put in place for proper logging.

In a goodwill message, the General Manager of Rongtai Wood Company, Mr Joneny Lei, promised to collaborate with the government and other stakeholders to ensure the forest cover is restored.
