Why I established ranching law in Benue – Gov. Ortom opens up
Ortom said this in Nsukka on Tuesday while delivering the Prof. Miriam Ikejiani-Clark First Memorial Lecture, titled “The State and Management of Farmers /Herdsmen Conflict in Nigeria: Lessons from the Benue Valley”.
He said if countries that have more cattle like India, Brazil, China, U.S and Argentina could practice ranching, why not Nigeria with less than 20 million cattle. The Governor said that it was gross ignorance of the law for anyone to insinuate that the law protects only the farmers. “I am happy, those who think that the problem of herdsmen is only that of the Benue Valley and Middle-Belt states are today having the bitter pill of herdsmen in their various states,” he said.
“We all gather here to honour an outstanding scholar and administrator, who left her foot prints in the sands of time.
