Ekit state governor, Ayodele Fayose has announced a blanket ban on cattle grazing and rearing in the state.
He said those interested in the business should go and set up private cattle ranches.
A bill to make movement of cattle from one location to another a criminal offence will soon be sent to the house of assembly, he said.
