No law bans cattle grazing in Abuja – Official

Against the background of concerns expressed by residents on the increasing sighting of cattle roaming the street in the city, Abuja Environmental Protection Board has said there are “no written laws” that ban the practice in the Federal Capital Territory .

He, however, said the minister’s pronouncement was not documented as a law and is even at variance with the law that established the enforcement agency. “You have to understand that when Abuja Environmental Protection Board says cattle should not roam the city, it is not because they want to prevent cattle breeders from raring cattle in the FCT. Basically, it is just for safety. It is for safety of your cattle and above all, safety of the citizens”, Mr Bello said.The minister inaugurated a task team led by Abdullahi Monjel to keep the cattle off the streets of Abuja.

Southeast governors on July 10 said the movement of cattle into the geopolitical zone through the bush paths by foot will no longer be allowed.Three years after the former minister banned the movements of cattle in the city, the animals are still being seen in parts of the city.
