Nigeria bans wood exports to fight deforestation and illegal logging.
Nigeria has banned the export of wood and related products nationwide, effective immediately, under a presidential executive order signed by President Bola Tinubu.
The move, announced by Environment Minister Balarabe Abbas Lawal, suspends all existing wood extraction and export licenses to combat deforestation, protect biodiversity, and strengthen climate resilience.
The ban is part of broader environmental reforms aimed at curbing illegal logging and unsustainable resource exploitation, particularly of valuable species like African rosewood.
Security agencies and government ministries are tasked with enforcement.
