The South-East Zonal Chairman of MACBAN, Alhaji Gidado Siddiki, confirmed this in a statement on Tuesday in Enugu.
Siddiki, however, requested that a middle course be negotiated to avoid the abrupt stoppage of open grazing preparatory to the commencement of better and modern methods of cattle rearing. The MACBAN chairman called for the provision of grazing reserves, stock routes, watering points, health and education facilities as interim measures.
“The herders due to the nature of cattle rearing are more on transit and are equally exposed to the wanton camp infiltration by often migrant fellows who are criminally minded. He noted that the law abiding herders had for years lived harmoniously with members of their host communities in parts of the country.
Irrespective of this statement, states in the south should still enforce security & strict ban on open grazing within their territories. A time when a learned attorney will compare peaceful vehicle spare part traders with crop destroying & blood-shedding herdsmen is worrisome
If they are not against it, then what is the headache coming from the presidency. May Allah safeguard us in this country.
They better not be. They can graze and eat their cows
