The apex body of farmers in Nigeria, All Farmers Association of Nigeria, AFAN, weekend, called on the Federal Ministry of Water Resources to provide more dams along grazing routes to prevent herder-farmer conflicts.

Speaking with Vanguard in a telephone chat, the National President, AFAN, Arc Kabir Ibrahim, said dams would be cardinal panacea to the protracted herder-farmer conflicts in the country.

Ibrahim said the conflict has taken too many lives following incessant attacks from both ends, hence the Federal Ministry of Water Resources should consider construction of dams to meet the water needs of both herders and farmers. He said: “The Federal Ministry Water Resources should provide more dams in the rural areas targeting grazing routes augmenting the efforts of the states that way the facilities for animal drinking spots will be enhanced to reduce competition between animals and humans thereby mitigating or minimizing farmer-herder conflicts.”
