They were invited during the public hearing and they made submissions, so how is he not saying they were not invited?”
The lawmaker also noted that the bill had been submitted to the state governor, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, for his assent.
The bill provides that the Ondo State government would acquire lands and designate areas for ranching across the state. The law, when passed, will put an end to open grazing, night grazing and under-aged herders in the state.“No person shall cause any livestock belonging to him or under his control to graze on any land in which the governor has not designated for such purposes and in which he has not fully obtained the required permit,” Part VI of the bill, states.
The bill also provides that intending ranchers would procure a ranching permit from the Ondo State Livestock and Ranch Administration and Control Committee, based on the approval of the governor. Under the proposed law, all commercial livestock farmers in the state must register their businesses with the Ministry of Agriculture in the state after which they would be given identification numbers that would be boldly inscribed on each of their livestocks.
