The Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development in collaboration with the Ministry of Internal Affairs today inaugurated the Committee for the Creation and Training of a Special Unit of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps – NSCDC Officers to provide security for host communities of the proposed FG cattle ranches; and protect the agricultural investments of the scheme.

Speaking at the inauguration ceremony in Abuja, the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development – Chief Audu Ogbeh thanked the Minister of Internal Affairs for his prompt response to addressing this national challenge in the area of agriculture stating that we now want to create cattle ranches, bringing our cattle together in manageable conditions where we can finally solve the conflicts between herdsmen and crop farmers within the shortest period in Nigeria.

“We are hoping that in the process, the Civil Defence Corps will create a special unit of officers, adequately trained and equipped to protect the communities, agricultural investments against rustlers and prevent cows from leaving the ranches. Beyond oil, we need agriculture as an investment. Grasses, water and vet services will be provided in the ranches and no herdsman will have any excuse to roam. If they do that, then they are breaking the law. We will harvest high quality milk and beef for local consumption and hides and skin for export. I urge the Committee to discuss this issue seriously and work out the modalities. We need to tell the world that if we invest or invite foreign investors to Nigeria, their investment is secured. The President is committed to the success of this and the need to end this violence.”

In his remarks, Minister of Internal Affairs – Lt. Gen. Abdulrahman Dambazzau said: “I responded very quickly to this request because it bothers on the responsibility of our ministry to secure lives and properties of Nigerians and protect our agricultural investments. This duty is directly connected to the ease of doing business and we want to encourage investors to come to Nigeria. We are solidly behind the ranching programme and will provide adequate support to the ministry of agriculture to succeed.”

The Committee, headed by Chairman – Mr. Noah Auta, Director, Joint Services, Ministry of Internal Affairs is expected to deliberate on the operational modalities of the special unit and submit its recommendation within the shortest possible time.

Setting up security for the herdsmen before their arrival because they will definitely offend their host community and need protection because they won't agree to remain in the ranches.


Fammers oooo sell your hoes and buy guns oooo because BUHARI brothers are coming to kill and rape oooo. I don tell you. He give them security self

Is cattle rearing not supposed to be someone private business? Why will the federal government spend taxpayers money in sponsoring cattle rearers why neglecting other agricultural sectors. Are fulanis some kind of special people. This government cannot even hide their bigotry, buhari should know that it is this kind of act that fuel separatist agitation.

Hmmm

have no better definition for confusion than what APC stands for. what in God's name have we brought upon ourselves in this country? where the well being of cows are more important to the president than the hardships, deaths and hunger his followers are passing through. why is APC so much concerned about this grazing and ranch stuff? where on earth does a government provide free avenue for private business? I hope the pig rearers, chicken, pigeon, goats, dogs rearers will also be provided with free lands for their businesses because they also provide meats to the nation. nonsense....

nice

civial defence wey just they sleep anyhow for road, who them fit protect??

Buhari has by this action completely balkanized this country. I'm not bothered, my community is almost 3 hours by boat from Yenagoa but I pity the fóols who think they can cohabit peacefully with a Fulani herdsman. Me, I will dynamite any herdsman who threatens my territorial integrity by coming to destroy my small farm.

Committee or no committee no free grazing or ranching land in the south east. Anyone who wants land should pay for them.

I weep for Nigeria.
My people be warned, there's nothing like cow ranching but the almighty GRAZING RESERVES.
I see this country splitting into 5 parts by this singular act.
Wake up if u are a southerner/middle beltan because war has already begun.

I nr wan see ranch around me sef talk less of cattles or herdsmen

they should continue, when most Nigerians are not feeling safe, they are looking for maximum security for cattles...
Quote me and expect thunder

Hope they get restricted to their ranches!

buhari getting stupider daily

Look at these useless Ugandans! Were you not the ones shouting that herds roaming is outdated that the world bow practices RANCHING? As latest as on yesterday threads!
Now you are here posting trash!
Children of hate gonna hate anyways, so better do whatever we believe is for the best. Nigeria must be great.

Just because it hasn't happen to U n I... Nigerians are too selfish, insincere and self-deceitful. Just like d masses would not revolt, Nigerians can't even deny themselves of eating meat for just one month to register displeasure about d satanic wanton destruction of lives. If d herds' men start losing money by losing massive patronage anytime they kill, they would have changed by now.

South Easterners should also look into ranching for beef and milk.

Why can't these people just go into ranching why nomadic life


We have passed nomadic life like 1000 yrs ago

How special are fulanis to have special security attachees!

Will ranching ever cause problem? Its only grazing that is weird and a recipe for violence.

ok

The king in d north



Anyway sha its not his fault, he learned all this in the 'university of north'

Okay

They will still come and abuse Buhari here, meanwhile na their flat headed red cap chiefs they sell them...

So the government should use our collective money to provide free ranches for private fulani herdsmen!! Where on earth is that done!!

Rubbish.....nscdc are just boyscouts

So this is what this dullard fought for 12 years to get.
Buhari has 3 years more out of which a month and two weeks have gone.
Osibande said GEJ no build any road.
Fashola and rocket science nko?
Look at security, it is even more porous now.
Look at the unity of the country and how Dullard is uniting us with 97% appointment of the northern folks.

The truth is that you cannot give what you don't have. Bubu is not intelligent and his decisions will reflect that. Bubu is a bigot and can never fairly unite the country. Bubu is vengeful.

Look at what yaradua said after his election: "I know that the election that brought me to power is marred by irregularities, I therefore enjoin everyone to join us and build a new Nigeria". He was honest and started the electoral reform. He brought peace to Niger delta and Nigerians saw him as the president of all. Nobody was marginalised.

How did we end up electing this bigot?

Who told you it was free?
Have you seen the contractual agreement they are meant to sign?
Is the ranch exclusively for Fulani tribesmen?
Answer these first.

With the very large land mass the north has why can't provision for cattles be made which is sold to make money for personal use

Whether ranching or grazing
Shebi u know that kano is bigger than enugu times three...

The country will be great if Buhari pays close attention to it the same way he wants to appease the marauding herdsmen at all cost.

Cattle over people?

Protect yourselves folks.
