As the world’s second-largest producer of charcoal, Nigeria has lost most of its forests. But this depletion is not caused by charcoal alone as timber, farming and construction also accelerate deforestation. The country moved from having 12.2 percent of forest area in 2007 to 7.7 percent in 2017 – deforestation of a landmass bigger than Belgium in a decade – according to the World Bank’s The Little Green Data Book.
At Obollo Afor, about 56 kilometres from the charcoal factory, a proportion of the company’s staff work at a field that has a collection of wood. Truck-mounted forklift haul logs numbered with white chalk into 40-foot containers. The company listed three Nigerian directors – Adullahi Abubakar Baba, Alhassan Baba and Yunusa Ibrahim – who are all bearing as its shareholders, according to the company’s incorporation documents obtained by SaharaReporters from the Corporate Affairs Commission.
Since the factory began operation, locals supply the feedstock from forests across the state and have started going to the neighbouring states of Kogi and Benue states to get the wood, according to a logger who supplies to the factory.

Meanwhile Nigerians can't do this in their country. So Nigerian laws are for the poor citizens? Why are these people so confident in doing these things they can't even do in their country?
