The Cross River State Government is seeking the services of young qualified personnel to fill the position of cadets in the newly established Cross River State Green Police.

Introduction:

Nigeria’s forests reserve is fast depleting with about 90% already lost to deforestation. Cross River State is proud to be home to over 50% of the country’s remaining rain forest.

The Cross River State Forest has been adjudged as one of 25 biodiversity hot spots in the world. Therefore, the State Government is desirous of ensuring sustainable economic value from the forests.

The goal is to harness its vantage position as the world’s second largest rain forest beginning with a shift from absolute conservation to an aggressive regeneration program which will entail massive afforestation and hybrid cross border financing.

The intention is to create pockets of efficiency that mitigate abuses, trigger effective stakeholders’ engagement and activate out of the box opportunity ladder for the people of the State.

The State government’s vision within the renewed partnership with the United Nations REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation) program is to create catalytic footprints in this space through a regimented afforestation initiative with a sustainable, community-based enforcement team – the Green Police.
.

Selection Criteria:
