The Kano State Governor, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, has appointed the former Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof Attahiru Jega, to head a national committee set up to seek a lasting solution to the perennial farmers-herders conflict in rural areas.
“That plan represents Nigeria’s most comprehensive strategy yet to encourage pastoralists to switch to ranching and other sedentary livestock production systems. It is an established fact that modernising the livestock sector is key to resolving the herder-farmer conflict, which threatens Nigeria’s political stability and food security.
“In several states, especially in the North, there are duly gazetted grazing reserves, a majority of which are degraded and are without pasture or water especially in the dry season. Also, about 13 states agreed to allocate 5,000 hectares of land for the ranching or livestock production.” This is even as he disclosed that his government has introduced reformative interventions in the livestock sector to mitigate farmer and herder conflicts by tackling the issue headlong.
