Determined to ensure a peaceful relationship between farmers and herders, Governor Abdullahi Ganduje has thrown his weight behind the establishment of ranches in the country.
Ganduje’s position was endorsed by the Vice president of the Islamic Development Bank, Mansur Muhtar who said it was unfortunate that between 2016 and now, at least 4000 people lost their lives in the recurring conflicts between farmers and herders, with several thousand others sustaining injuries, both physical and emotional.
The duo spoke during the opening ceremony of the national conference on livestock reform and mitigation of associated conflicts between herders and farmers held in Abuja.
