He said the Wawa/Zange grazing reserve occupied 130 hectares out of which five hectares were used for the planting of pastures now ready for grazing. The director said that the reserve was among the largest grazing reserves in the country. He said Gombe government handed it over to the Federal Government as part of its contribution to curb the menace of farmers /herders clashes in the state.
