Ban movement of cattle from North to South, Ganduje urges FG
Kano Governor Abdullahi Ganduje has urged the Federal Government to make a law banning movement of cattle by herders across the country.
He stated this at the weekend in an interview with journalists in Daura, Katsina State.
According to him, farmers/herders conflicts will not end until a law banning movement of cows from the North to the Middle Belt and the southern parts of the country.
He said the challenge of cattle rustling, just like that of the farmers/herders constant conflicts, would be also addressed with such a law.
The governor said Kano had been able to largely curtail banditry and related criminal activities because his administration had built a cattle rearing colony.
Ganduje said, “We are building a Ruga settlement in Samsosua Forest, our border with Katsina, and we have succeeded in curtailing the effect of banditry in that area.
“So, we are building many houses; we are constructing a dam; we are establishing a cattle artificial insemination centre. We are establishing veterinary clinic and already, we have started building houses for herdsmen.
“My advocacy is that we should abolish the transportation or trekking of herdsmen from the northern part of Nigeria to the Middle Belt and to the southern part of Nigeria.
“There should be a law that will ban (it); otherwise we cannot control the conflicts between herdsmen and farmers and cannot control the cattle rustling, which is affecting us greatly.”
