 President Bola Tinibu has approved the establishment of a presidential committee dedicated to the reform of the livestock industry and the provision of long-term solutions to recurring clashes between herders and farmers in the country. The President announced the establishment of the committee in Abuja following the submission of a report from the National Conference on Livestock Reforms and Mitigation of Associated Conflicts in Nigeria, convened by the chairman of the all-progressive Congress Dr. Abdul-Lahi Ghanduji. The President explained that the committee is expected to collaborate with the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security and propose recommendations aimed at fostering a peaceful coexistence between herders and farmers while ensuring the security and economic well-being of all Nigerians. Here I will find it and I tell you we are going to establish a committee here of those present as, consider yourselves members of the committee who are needed to finish their family. I will be talking to all of you about those. The Federal Committee is ready to acquire land for ranches and livestock development. And imagine you create this opportunity, you make doctors at this game to let them avoid the private sector, the education opportunity for the others and the family of the children. The many care that will be established through that is a life-saving opportunity. In his remarks, Ghanduji noted that implementation of the proposals of the report will enhance productivity, improve livelihoods, promote environmental conservation, address substantial causes of conflicts between farmers and pasteurists, and help in reducing the cost of importation for animal products like milk and beef. The whole issue of livestock reform is not for one particular ethnic nationality, it's not for particular religion, it's not for particular geopolitical zone but it's for all Nigerians because it has two major components. First the issue of economy and secondly the issue of security. Due to changing climatic situation, increase in population, creation because of technology. The farmer now doesn't require the manure from the cow because there is a sensitive fertilizer while the husband is not in position to get a new version of grazing, that is the grasses, he is still using the natural grasses. These are issues that we need to resolve in our new reformed agenda. We need to also consider those who are into cattle business in the traditional format are also human beings they need to be addressed but the partnership is we need to migrate, to assist from this migratory tendency to you know ranching, mini ranching that support system can address. One of the key recommendations in the report is the need to establish a ministry to be charged with the mandate of leading the sustainable reforms and development of the livestock sector.
