The take-off of the cattle train shuttle from Gusau, Zamfara State, to Lagos signals the Nigerian Railway Corporation’s (NRC) determination to drive the marketing side of agriculture to boost the economy,.

IN a bold move to create jobs and guarantee food security, the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) resumed cattle train service with the delivery of 500 cows and rams from the North to Oko-Oba, Agege Lairage in Lagos.

The service, which was suspended 30 years ago, was resuscitated by the Nigeria Incentives-Based Risk Sharing System for Agricultural Lending (NIRSAL). It began with the movement of 500 cattle under its Farm-to-Market scheme from Gusau, the Zamfara State capital, to Lagos last Thursday.

The 15-wagon train, which took off from Gusau at about 4am on Friday, arrived at the Iju Train Station at about 3.30 pm on Saturday, after stopping at Minna, Niger State, Ibadan, Oyo State and Ifo, Ogun State. The journey lasted 36 hours as against the three days it usually takes to transport the cattle by road.

The departure was witnessed by Zamfara State Deputy Governor Alhaji Ibrahim Wakkala, officials of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), and representatives of international development partners and international finance institutions.

Among persons at the Iju station to welcome the train were Managing Director of Connect Rail Service, Edeme Kelikume, representatives of banks, other private sector players, livestock traders, some NRC officials led by the Director of Operations, Niyi Alli; representatives of NIRSAL and the leadership of the Oko-Oba Cattle Traders Association.

Imagine....so this was available

When be the turn of tomato

We will start tearing cow in the south too because we can rear better cow and ours will be cheaper because we won’t need to buy grass. If you calculate the cost of transportation and feeding the North cow is already expensive that why the cow business is better lucrative for us in the South and we are going to venture into the business. The north can take their cow to Niger and any other country

Good move
