President Bola Tinubu has given the green light to produce a special commission to perfect the livestock industry and find lasting solutions to the frequent clashes between herdsmen and growers in Nigeria.
This decision came after the submission of a report from the
National Conference on Livestock Reforms and Conflict Mitigation in Nigeria,
organized by Dr. Umar Abdullahi Ganduje, the former Governor of Kano State and
Chairman of the All Progressives’ Congress (APC).
The President revealed that this commission will work closely with the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security to propose recommendations aimed at fostering peaceful concurrence between herdsmen and growers while ensuring the safety and profitable well-being of all Nigerians.
The President also stressed the implicit benefits of this
action, like creating employment openings for veterinarians., supporting the
private sector, furnishing education for herdsmen's children, establishing
medical installations, and boosting Nigeria's dairy and leather diligence.

President Tinubu praised Ganduje for assembling a platoon of
experts to address the long-standing issues between pastoralists and growers,
and he commended the commission for their active work in examining the complex
issues related to beast operation, land use, and security.
Ganduje, in his reflections, emphasized the significance of
the commission's report, which he believed held the answers to the beast's
problems. He stressed that enforcing the proffers would enhance productivity,
ameliorate livelihoods, promote environmental conservation, reduce conflicts
between growers and pastoralists, and drop the need for importing beast
products like milk and beef.
