BREAKING: Senate Passes Bill To Control, Regulate Cattle Rearing Ranching Business In Nigeria.

The Nigerian Senate has passed a bill to establish the National Animal Husbandry and Ranches Commission after a heated debate on Wednesday.

The bill, sponsored by Senator Titus Tartenger Zam representing Benue North West was meant to control and regulate cattle rearing ranching business across the country.

Explaining the general principles of the bill, Zam canvassed the need for the proposed Commission to manage, regulate, and preserve ranches across the country.

He said: “The proposed National Animal Husbandry and Ranches Commission is for management, preservation, and control of ranches throughout Nigeria.”

The bill, however, met stiff opposition from Senator Danjuma Goje from Gombe and his counterpart from Kebbi, Adamu Aliero.

Both Lawmakers and former governors argued that cattle rearing and ranching activities were more in the North than in other parts of the country, reasoning that lawmaking should be for the entire country and not for a section.

Goje specifically maintained that cattle routes begin from the far north and end in Lokoja as “the route does not extend to the South”.

In his contribution, Senator Hussein Babangida Uba, representing Jigawa North-West, called for extra caution in passing the bill, given its trail of controversies in the past.

Other Senators who supported the bill contended that the proposed Commission would manage the farmers/herders crisis, hence, it should be passed.

The bill was passed after it was put to voice vote by the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio.

It was referred to the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Judiciary and Legal Matters to be reverted in four weeks.

The country had suffered enough all in the name of cow meat

Hmmmm! No cattle roaming the street or bush without license. Hence, all cattle rearer must get a license and cattle most be registered. The same way dog gets registration card.

History of vaccination should be detailed on the card to avoid consumption of sick cow.

Wasted effort and resources.

Regulate cow business In Nigeria? Smh

The House of Representatives should throw it out and if they pass it, then the President should not assent to that poisoned chalice.
They should take it to their states HoA and Governors to sign. Cattle business, just like snail rearing, poultry, catfish farming etc, is not on the exclusive list.
Take your cattle business law to your states.

Hope it is not an avenue to increase the size of current bureaucracy by creating jobs for the boys. This is something the ministry of agriculture could easily handle.

Is that not what states house of assembly should be doing?

How who is going to interact with animals I'm not talking about the cows this time around.

Nice one, cow meat has caused more harm than than good to Nigerians

We know you RO.NU People are cowards and cannot face the North.

For years,open grazing has caused deaths,misery and high price of food items due to the crises farmers herders conflict causes. But because you can't face the North, you are asking the house of representatives and Tinubu to throw it out.

You can't face the actual killers,but when it comes to Igbo matters,Your dick will be hard and tearing of your bras and pants.

Go and face the actual people killing our people and put a stop to it. No you can't

Ohh sorry I forgot "Where are the cows"

Bunch of Cowards!

In the UK dog even get Passport to travel abroad

Complete with its own name , Photograph and date of birth
Couldn’t stop laughing when my friend got a passport for their dog Scotty to travel on Holiday

Why would federal government be financing Fulani cattle business with this rubbish commission? Why is there not a commission created to finance Igbo trading and manufacturing businesses? Let the lazy and terrorist herders go and buy land and ranch. They have money. One cow is not sold for less than 1 million naira. But because they are blood sucking Islamists trying to spread their religion of bloodshed through killings, they insist on forcing themselves on other people's farms and eating mature crops that farmers have toiled for many months to grow. If Tinubu signs that bill, then he is even more demented than advertised.

I can understand...

The death of 3 OBAs in Yoruba land killed by these Fulani masters is actually very tiring.

Anyway....take heart in Amotekun or OPC as those outfits are hampered from performing by the same Military that protects the same Fulani in NIGERIA.

When ESN confronts the Fulani killers same you will be shouting TOLERANCE..

Anyway check my signature for Palliative foodstuffz for APC members..

Nonsense

This is one of the best achievements of this administration because it will drastically reduce the prevailing hunger. The marauding herds will be curbed and the incessant class between farmers and herders will rest and farmers will be able to go back to their farms without the fears of been killed or kidnapped by bandits disguised as herders. The main cause of hunger is the inability of farmers to plant and harboring peacefully. Kudos to this administration for the remarkable feat.

Shameless Yoruba man..

See you talking finance for IGBO business be ause you are so afraid of mentioning Fulani and Yoruba in the same sentence

Arent there Yoruba livestock farmers, or is it only skull mining and Huma parts harvesting that you excel in?

You had better RONU..

How far with your wish for the SE and disaster..we still dey wait..

Start retaliation..abi una dey fear?

Why was Senator Goje and Aliero opposed to it?. This is long overdue and a standard practise all over the world. Ghana adopted similar measures which had stop the mindless killings in the affected communities. This'd stem the tide of farmers/herders clashes and Nigeria would become one of the leading net exporters in dairy products.

-Kiss the truth!

ESN has already banned open grazing in SE. The rest of you can struggle to catch up with us
