 I was right now to a reverse state where the Executive Council has approved the proposed bill that will give legal back-end to the ban on open burying and grating of livestock in the state. The endorsement was made at its meeting at Government House in Port Hackett, which was presided over by Governor Nesum Weke. Briefing journalist after the meeting, the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice Professor Zaki Ozadango says it is impossible for the state to enforce the resolution of the Southern Nigeria Governors Forum on the ban on open rearing and grazing of livestock without an enabling law. He says the Office of the Attorney General of the state did a draft of the legal instrument which has been adopted by the Council. Professor Ozadango believes that when the bill is passed and assented to by the governor, open grazing of livestock will be criminalized and prohibited in any part of the state. That bill, when passed into law, will criminalize, prohibit open rearing or grazing of livestock in reverse state. If you look at that bill, it's divided into four parts. The first part of that bill, this with the objectives of the bill, that's what the bill intends to achieve, and then also deals with establishment of the state and local government livestock and ranch administration and control committees. Professor Ozadango is of the opinion that the proposed reverse state residence registration agency bill will make it mandatory for residents of the state to be registered, including any visitor staying in the state beyond two weeks. The Commissioner for Agriculture, Dr. Fred Paco says the Council has approved the construction of a modern abattoir. Paco says the new abattoir will be an integrated facility sitting on the 21-plot of land by the seashore. It will have the ability to be able to slaughter 400 cattle per day and 1,500 goats and sheep per day. From this turning to beheading to the skinning, will be done through automated process. And it is necessary for reverse government to have a bill that will require mandatory registration of residents in riverside. In other words, that bill makes provision for the mandatory registration by every person who lives and does business in riverside. On 11 May 2021, the Southern Nigeria Governance Forum met in Asaba, an adopted series of resolutions. Most critical was that open rearing and grazing of cattle will remain banned throughout Southern Nigeria.
