In other news, the Ondo state chapter of the Miyetti Allah Breeders Association of Nigeria has said its members are tired of open grazing.
The chairman of the herders association in Ondo state, Alhaji Bello Garba, urged the state government to make provision for ranches, noting that such a move will put an end to the frequent herdsmen/ farmers’ crises.
Legit.ng gathers that Garba said this on Wednesday, March 10, in Akure, during a public hearing on a bill to regulate rearing and grazing of livestock and provide for the establishment of ranches.
