Mr Babachir Lawal, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) has reiterated the resolve of the Federal Government to establish ranches and grazing reserves across the country, a statement said.
The statement issued on Thursday in Abuja by Mr Bolaji Adebiyi, the Director of Press in the Office of the SGF, said that the decision was reached to address the incessant clashes between herdsmen and farmers.
Adebiyi said that SGF reiterated the Federal Government’s decision when he received a delegation from Tabital Pulako Njode Jam Foundation, led by its chairman, Alhaji Abdul Bali.
He noted that most of the crimes on farmlands were perpetrated by nomads who migrated into the country and pledged the Federal Government commitment to enlighten herdsmen on ways to make cattle rearing more profitable.
According to Adebiyi, Bali said that the foundation was established to look into the clashes between herdsmen and farmers, adding that its submissions had shown that nomads from other countries were responsible for clashes with farmers.
He urged the Federal Government to strengthen control at the nation’s borders.
