President Tinubu Receives Report On Livestock Reforms In Nigeria

President Bola Tinubu has received the report on the recommendations of the committee on livestock reform implementation in Nigeria.

The report was presented to Tinubu on Thursday at the State House in Abuja by the chairman of the presidential committee on livestock reform, Professor Attahiru Jega.

Speaking to journalists shortly after meeting with the President, Jega, a former Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), said the committee submitted a 152-page document for review on how the government can curb the incessant clashes between farmers and herders in the country.

Jega disclosed that the committee is of the opinion that both ranching and open grazing can coexist in the short term until there is enough awareness and adequate infrastructure that will enhance the adoption of full ranching.

The committee noted that it would be counterproductive to immediately stop open grazing as a traditional method of pastoralism.

Also, the committee recommended that Nigeria adopt technologies in livestock production.

Naija News understands the report of the committee is expected to be made public very soon with a view to getting more input from the public.

It would be recalled that President Tinubu inaugurated the Presidential Committee on Implementation of Livestock Reforms in July.
