There was a drama on Thursday, when the House of Representatives resolved to set up an ad hoc committee to investigate the disbursement and utilisation of the N100 billion released for the construction of mini ranches across the country. It was learnt that the ad hoc committee, when set up, would be expected to report to the House within four weeks for further legislative action. The House resolution followed a motion moved by Honourable Karimi Sunday entitled: “Urgent need to investigate the N100 billion released by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) for the construction of modern mini ranches across the nation.” Hardly had Honourable Sunday moved the motion when the Minority Leader, Honourable Leo Ogor, raised a point of order, relying on Order 9 of the rules of the House. The Deputy Speaker, Honourable Yusuf Lasun, who presided over the session, however, overruled him, saying that since the motion was an investigative one, members should be allowed to decide. While moving the motion, the lawmaker said “a committee set up by the Federal Government in 2014 on grazing reserves under the chairmanship of the former governor of Benue State, Mr Gabriel Suswam, which identified issues causing the conflicts between herdsmen and farmers to include struggle for land, water and uncontrolled influx of nomadic herdsmen, and thus noted that grazing reserves and cattle routes already gazetted had been encroached upon; such routes should be recovered and improved upon, taking into consideration present day realities.” The lawmaker also recalled the recurring conflicts, attacks, counter-attacks and killings between herdsmen and local farmers in the country in the last five years over the grazing of cattle and other ruminants on farmlands. According to him, “as a result of the above findings, the committee recommended the release of N100 billion through the CBN as seed funding to all the states for the construction of ranches. The N100 billion, he said, was approved by the National Economic Council to various states of the federation for the construction of modern mini ranches, in a bid to boost agricultural yields and put an end to the conflicts arising from the traditional method of grazing. He, however, submitted that the approval for the release of the fund was a contravention of Section 80 (4) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999, which provides that no money shall be withdrawn from the Consolidated Revenue Fund or any other public fund of the federation except in the manner prescribed by the National Assembly. To this end, he said despite the release of the money without parliamentary approval, there had been no ranch constructed anywhere in the country to account for the expenditure of the money and as a result, the conflicts they were intended to resolve had gone exacerbated, leading to more killings. He maintained that sections 88 and 89 of the 1999 Constitution empowered the National Assembly to investigate the utilisation of public funds in order to curb waste. Also, another attempt by Honourable Samson Okwu to stop the motion, was overruled by the presiding officer. When the motion was put to vote by the Deputy Speaker, Honourable Lasun, it was supported by majority of the lawmaker. http://www.tribuneonlineng.com/56712/ |

The Ba$tard PDP members are trying to hide the fact that they are responsible for the killings. This farmers/herdsmen issue would have been a thing of the past had the useless PDP not stolen the money meant for the ranches. Now they want to hide their involvement by preventing investigations and pretending to fly flags at half mast. 2 Likes |

So Federal government released 100billion for ranches in the last administration of GEJ and no ranches were built as usual and the money developed wings. So then to PDP and it's supporters cow rearing is not a private business because the money was released by GEJ so no problem if cow rearing is a private business then. Come to think of it where were the ranches that money were released were to be built moon or sky, but now ranches should not be allowed. Those who supported ranching during GEJ time after releasing 100billion are against it now because it's Buhari. Hypocrisy is a diseases. Any way i wouldn't support ranching in any state that is not predominantly by Fulani. Ranching should be situated at Kastina, Kano, Sokoto, Kebbi and others. Plateau, Benue, Taraba no to ranching i stand and support them for rejecting it in their state. 3 Likes |

CodeTemplar:you are a monkey. So you see nothing wrong with your PDP looters who stole N100b and are trying to prevent investigation on it! You must be a goat. First of all, the FG is not giving money to anybody but is creating an area where herders can graze their cows without encroaching on farms. Here, they will pay rents and other dues to land owners and government authorities. Now if this is injustice, what do you call the subsidy on fertilizer, on PMS, etc, or waivers given to some importers, coporate tax reductions to certain companies, tax holidays etc, are these injustice to those that don't benefit? You must have melons and ogi for brains. If not, you would have known that everything works out for the common good. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Enice: Ranches will never exist in southern Nigeria and the middle belt. If it comes to violence you will realize no one has a monopoly over violence. No sane human being will like to have blood thirsty terrorists close to them.The state governments of the NE/NW should use their own allocations to build ranches for their terrorist citizens on their own land |

GEJ is such a disappointment that talking him makes his goffy supporters are jittery whenever his matter comes up. Why? Why give out money and no single ranch built is it that stealing was the sort of training he received or what? |
Re: No Ranches Built After CBN released N100b For states -reps by Enice(m): 10:57am On Jul 01, 2018 |
Chuksonyeike:you are just yapping nonsense and you have no say in this matter. The stakeholders on this issue are the communities and the state governments. Not the churches, mosques or political parties. PDP stole N100b that was meant for this project but you see nothing wrong in that. All you can see and is concern with is some community giving out land for grazing as a business venture. Shame. Later, id!ots like you will shout that Nigerians are hungry yet you keep defending those that stole you money. Cow. |

Well if you must know my community and state government has refused to cede lands to the terrorists for their grazing reserves, colonies ,ranches or whatever they chose to call it.They can head back to sambisa forest to take as much land as they like.If the FG gave anyone money for ranches they can prosecute and retrieve the money as for territory for terrorists We say a big NO |
