Fulani Herdsmen Will Soon Stop Roaming The Street- Audu Ogbe by Fgreen(m) : 12:23 pm On Jan 09, 2018 |
The Minister of Agriculture, Audu Ogbeh, has stated that the lingering crisis between herdsmen and farmers in many areas of the nation is due to the long-term neglect of cattle rearers from the Federal authorities. Based on him, successive governments in the past 50 years have concentrated their attention on other businesses in Agriculture such as Rice, cassava farming, along with many others and have always neglected herdsmen and their demands. "Over the years, we have not done much to look seriously into the issue of livestock development in the country. I am sad to tell you that in the last 50 years until recently, we may have done enough for the rice farmer, the cassava farmer, the maize farmer, the cocoa farmer, but we have not done much for herdsman and that inability and omission on our part is resulting in the crises we are witnessing today. In Europe, every cow that is farmed gets a subsidy of 6 Euros per day, we have done next to nothing for the cattle rearers and as a result, their operations have become threats to other farmers" he said Ogbeh said plans are on the way for cattle rearers to stop roaming the streets and that pastures will soon be made available. "At least, five thousand hectres of land would be made available, adequate water, adequate pasture would be made available. We also want to stop cattle rearers from roaming about. The cattle will be provided with water and adequate security by the Agro Rangers," the minister added.
