President Bola Tinubu has hinted of his intentions of reviving the National Cattle Grazing Reserve Policy as a means to checkmate frequent crises between farmers and herdsmen. He gave the hint on Monday, while flagging off the Food Security and Agricultural Mechanization Programme in Niger State.

According to the president, his administration remains committed to ensuring food sufficiency and protecting local industries for sustainable economic growth. His words, 'I know what it means for roaming cows to eat crops and the vegetation of our land. I know it is painful. But when we re-orient the herder and make provision for cattle rearing, we can address that. You are the governors who are to provide us with land.

'We have seen the level of commitment here. We have seen leadership. The success of any leader will depend on the ability to do what needs to be done when it ought to be done. It is now time for us to address the challenges and make Nigeria an economy of opportunities. We must care for our people; re-orient our people. I do not see why Nigeria cannot feed all students in its schools,' the President said.
