Cattle Movement From North To South Should Be Banned: Ganduje

 Cattle Movement From North To South Should Be Banned, Says Ganduje
Governor Ganduje

Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje has recommended the ban of the movement of cattle and herdsmen from the Northern part of Nigeria to other regions.

He expressed that this should be done as a way of curbing the frequent farmer-herdsmen crisis in the country.

Ganduje made the submission in Daura Katsina State while speaking with newsmen on Sunday.

He noted that a law should be enacted to ban the movement as a way of ending the crisis.

The Governor noted that his administration is already building a Ruga settlement in Kano State located in a forest near Kano’s border with Katsina to prevent the movement of herdsmen with their cattle and prevent clashes with farmers when the cattle destroy the farmlands.

“My advocacy is that we should abolish the transportation or trekking of herdsmen from the Northern part of Nigeria to the Middle Belt and to the Southern part of Nigeria.

“There should be a law that will ban, otherwise we cannot control the conflicts between herdsmen and farmers and cannot control the cattle rustling which is affecting us greatly,” the governor said.
