Amid the raging controversy on the ban on open grazing, the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) has finally backed the position of southern governors on the issue.
In a report released by Daily Trust, while addressing a press conference in Kaduna on Thursday, May 20, the national patron of MACBAN, Senator Walid Jibrin, said the ban would address the farmers-herders crisis in the country.
VAM News gathered that he said that cattle rearing has been in Africa for over 100 years without any consideration to the free movement of cattle (open grazing) or any grazing reserve.
He said this was carried out because at that time there were few herders, farmers and cattle, especially in Nigeria, stressing that currently, the population has increased with modern technique of farming consuming land tremendously.
The northern leader stated in a statement:
“Nigeria must remain one entity and one Nigeria as against what is happening now. We should rely more on dialogue and mediation with herders, Fulani leaders, Traditional rulers and our Governors in order to end this feud.”
