The Federal Government has announced that work will start next week on establishment of cattle colonies in states in accord with the idea.

Agriculture Minister, Mr. Audu Ogbeh said the National Economic Council on Thursday set up a 10-member committee comprising the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, as chairman and nine governors to facilitate the commencement of the cattle colonies in interested states.

States like Benue and Taraba are against the idea while the Kogi state governor is in support of it. The cattle colonies are proposed to end the conflict between farmers and herdsmen in the country, which has led to the death of thousands.
