It is expected that the Federal Government will provide at least N312.47b to kick start the reform within the period after which a review of progress and funding would be expected.
The Federal Government is billed to create a coordinated funding mechanism through synergy among the key MDAs to be involved in the implementation of the initiatives as the Federal Ministry of Agriculture or the Ministry of Livestock Development will be expected to lead the initiative. Part of the recommendations being considered by President Tinubu is the urgent need to establish the Federal Ministry of Livestock and Fisheries Department as part of strategies to ensure sustainable reform of livestock production systems, including mitigation measures to minimise associated conflicts.
The 26-member Committee headed by Professor Attahiru Jega, former Vice Chancellor, Bayero University, Kano, and former Chairman of Independent National Electoral Commission in the 53 pages blueprint, among others, stressed the need for a conscious review of legislations, protocols and communal conventions with a view of finding an amicable solution that would allow livestock movements with lesser conflicts.
“Thus 2,500,000 TLUs can be settled under this scheme within the large 100 grazing reserves for a start. Another 2,500,000 settle in the small grazing reserves taking account their A carrying capacities and infrastructural development. Starter packs with a land allocation for housing and crop farming need to be provided. Thus, a total of 5,000,000 TLUs would be managed under the grazing reserves.”
“It is expected that at least one of the cows will give birth within the year and income will surely flowfrom milk sales for the family. If this is done in three cycles within five years, a total of 18,000 victims would be rehabilitated and 108,000 cattle added to the milk and beef production pool.” The report also acknowledges the on-going interventions led by the Federal Government and integrate such programmes within the context of the solutions proffered.President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been called upon to ensure that the electorates exercise their franchise without any form of intimidation in the Imo, Bayelsa and Kogi states governorship polls holding on the 11th November this year.
