“Of course, there is competition for land; 60 million people inhabited Nigeria in the 60s and you have 200 million people now.” Nigeria

A former governor of Bauchi State, Mr. Isa Yuguda, on Tuesday said that the challenges of banditry in the North West of Nigeria might have an international dimension.

According to him, Nigeria is a big country with a population growth from 60 million in the 1960s to about 200 million at present, hinging the frequent farmer/herdsmen clashes on competition for land. “All those cattle routes that were established by the British colonialists have been closed down because of human habitations; even the grazing reserves have been taken over by farmlands as population keeps growing.

“It cannot fully be a local problem; it could be an international problem, probably migration from somewhere. Yuguda said that the southern part of the country was also not insulated from kidnappings which, according to him, started with oil workers long time ago. “So, it is not a new thing but life is dynamic; there is no problem that cannot be managed; you can’t have a country without leadership.
