He made the disclosure during the presentation of farm implements and items by the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Audu Ogbeh to the Nigerian Army in Abuja.

General Buratai explained that the Army is investing in livestock, fisheries, poultry and other aspects of agriculture, and, so far, the Army boasts of about 1,000 herds of cattle in its ranches in different formations across the country.

He said the army is going beyond carrying arms in the affected areas to ensure security, they are playing active role in supporting the nation’s agriculture potential.

At the Nigerian Army Farms and Ranches located in Giri on the outskirts of the nation’s capital, the ranch, which is part of the Barracks Investment Initiative Programme of the Army, is stocked with over 30 tonnes of feed concentrates, machines for making feeds and grass seeds for producing pasture.

The Ministry of Agriculture showed their support for the initiative by presenting some agriculture machineries to the army.

Sitting on a vast land which could accommodate several thousands of cows, the ranch has two breeds of about 300 cows and the army is planning to replicate these at all Army formations across the country.

Afterall, it is a zombiecracy

Please read.

This was a plan in 2016 to help wives of soldiers earn more money and be financially empowered not about herdsmen.

The plan was also to set up vegetable farms, fish farms and the likes.

This article was from 2016 and explains it all

He noted that he has created the Barrack Investment Initiative as platform that affords Army family members the opportunity of raising up fishing ponds, vegetable gardens, fruits, livestock, chicken and their eggs.

According to him, the intention of the Nigerian Army was not just to secure the country, but to contribute in growing the economy of the nation.

He added: “We want to tell our wives that they can live beyond the salaries of their husbands, so we are trying to empower the women in the barracks to be able to form co-operatives, so as to access loans and to a large extent be able to fend for themselves and their families, even without the salaries of their husbands.

Meanwhile, the Commander Army Headquarters Garrison, Major General John Malu said that the formidable shopping edifice had over 2000 shops, 27 warehouses and a printing press owned by the Nigerian Navy

You are underestimating the Caliphate.

It is a matter of time before you will accept that there is more to this Cattle Colony/ Reserve.

Today it is the Tivs

Tomorrow, it could be in your direction.

Have some sense, do you think the army is staffed with ipob kind that knows only tribalism and hate? Did mynd44 tell you he works in the Army? Get out jare.

It is just a matter of time before people like Mynd44 will understand the grand plan of the Caliphate.

Germans don't practice Nomadic cattle farming but produce more meat and milk than the whole of West Africa.

Usba.. its good you acknowledged it was mynd44 i was having that sane convo with.

You should have respected that or joined the convo maturely rather than bringing up your usual ipob rantings all over again.

If you wanted a personal convo you should have pm'ed and hide your obviously senseless questions from the public, but having a public conversation that shows tribalism that is associated with the foolishness of accursed ipob it is only natural I point out the inherent daftness of such a foolish comment.

And finally, the nation went to the dogs..

This is the grand plan, gradually the fulani infested and dominated army would lay claim to lands in any location telling you its the Nigerian army cattle farm

The minister of agriculture was bold enough to say fulani herders would be escorted to/from and within their anticipated cattle colonies by cattle rangers (army).

What about everyother person who faces mishaps in their business routines?
