The President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government is set to rehabilitate the 414 grazing reserve centres and stock routes across the country, what it described as steps taken to end the clash between farmers and Fulani herdsmen in parts of the country. National Coordinator, Grazing Reserve Rehabilitation at the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Mahmud Ibrahim, disclosed this while speaking during a sensitisation and mobilisation programme on the issue at Wawazange Grazing Reserve in Dukkku Local Council of Gombe State.

Ibrahim said government would not rest until the lingering crisis between farmers and cattle breeders ended. According to him, the project, which is being carried out by the Federal Government through the Ministry of Agriculture, is in conjunction with Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria to curtail the crisis among farmers and herdsmen in the country. He said 10 states had already been mandated for the rehabilitation of the grazing reserves and stock routes. National Secretary of the breeders’ association, Baba Ngajarma, lauded the effort made by the government, saying that the project would sensitise farmers and herdsmen, adding that they must shun violence and embrace one another.

Strategy for buhari to steal people land and give to his Fulani brother

When will they give reserves to the igbos that do business all over Nigeria

When did those cows become government properties? When did the government start funding individual businesses?
For crying out loud this herdsmen are into their business, why should government use our scarce money to build them up? Is cattles the only agricultural enterprise that demands FG attention?

How many poultry farms have the FG Built for poultry farmers nor fish ponds for fish farmers? This is impunity and corruption in the highest order!

Of course what do we expect from the patron (PMB) of cattle breeders association? If the President shows the same passion and enthusiasm in revamping our economy, we could have been out of this hardship by now. This is a clear case of MISPLACED PRIORITY.

Speechless...

This might just be a good idea. Everything doesn't have to be related to tribalism as long as the states in question are in the north.

They've not finished rehabilitating humans o...So its cows over humans eh? Kwantinue

This guy eh, i don tire for him matter self d dullard wan use style collect pple land dash him kinsmen abi .

That's the kind of development you get from a once herdsman.........

Irrespective of the cry outs of the people that the cattle herders should set up ranches the

government still ignores that and wants to impose grazing routes on the people.One will only

wonder at the level of insensitivity of those ruling us since our voice does not matter anymore

and they do whatever they feel like. As for me i know there is more to this than meets the eye,we

all should be very careful and watchful.

Just here to read comments.
President, COMMENT READERS ASSOCIATION OF NAIRALAND(CRAN)

If this would end the crisis,good move

In whose lands?

It's turn by turn!

It's cows turn presently.

The citizens are in deep hardship, but the President deem it fit to give cows preferential treatment at the expense of the citizens.

Jonathan gave contracts to his Creek brothers, made them billionaires overnight... We no chop poison..

Buhari come dey look after im own, ugu Republicans come dey foam for mouth...

Is there anything in this case aside him ensuring that his people are safe?

Oba akinolu don advise u people, I wonder why the lagoon has not been filled up with children of rile and hate!!

Buhari seems to care more about cows than the zombies that voted him.

I like buari but I hate diz stupid decision , is he going to create grazzy for poultry too , y all diz nonsense na

Hmmmm. It's a priority but not top priority

Gbagan! Abeg use FG money rehabilitate/fund everything in the north Joor, including suya, kunu, cow dung and under-age marriage. Oh! Don't forget boko haram shekarau

It seems that this administration has a pact with the herdsmen to revamp their business.If they use the same energy and vigour in helping the herdsmen to channel into our ailing economy,we would have been better for it.Moreover,when will they begin to rehabilitate the markets and stalls for the Igbos cos what is good for Greece is also good for Uganda.

Some juvenile Nairaland members sef. The keyword is REHABILITATE. This is not the same as CREATE. You only rehabilitate EXISTING property.

If you don't like a man you should not ALWAYS strive to oppose him even to the point of appearing stupíd.

Right step in the right direction, if this will stop the nonsense killings. Haters you need to know that all lands belong to government.

this man is trying... he will shame all his distractors last last

This cattle rearer self.
Good for security .


Shy of bet shops? You don't have to visit one, just check my signature.
Even, ladies are outperforming with this approach

Feed the cows & starve the people.

There is something really fishy about this grazing bill.








Forget the stories!

RUBBISH

That moment when the President values cow more than citizens.
