Obiano Assures Ndi Anambra of Protection from Fulani Herdsmen By James Eze (eziokwubundu@gmail.com) Following the growing incident of attacks by Fulani herdsmen on farming communities in the South East and the North Central, the Governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano has assured the people of the state that his administration was adequately prepared to fend off surprise attacks on any part of the state. Speaking at the activities marking the Workers Day celebration in Awka on Sunday, Governor Obiano revealed that long before the growing menace of Fulani cattle herders became a serious threat to society, he had set up a Special Committee to foster peace between farmers and the cattle grazers. The Committee is made up of the leaders of the Hausa-Fulani community in the state, government officials, the security agents and some representatives of the agrarian communities across the state. “This Committee has made the herdsmen pay compensations to communities whose crops were destroyed by their cattle seven times in the past. And we have also paid compensation to the herdsmen when one community breached the peace against them. That is the nature of our engagement with them in Anambra State,” Governor Obiano explained. He however warned that his administration was ready to deal ruthlessly with the herdsmen if they grew needlessly hostile against their host communities, pointing out that already, there is routine helicopter surveillance across the borders of the state to ensure that any suspicious gathering of people or curious movements across the borders are quickly picked up and analysed by security experts. Governor Obiano commended Anambra workers for their support to his administration, saying that “if Willie is working, then the workers are also working,” and assured that his administration would continue to look into their welfare with a view to a possible salary increase once there is an increase in Internally Generated Revenue. Also speaking at the event, the Chairman of Nigeria Labour Congress, Anambra State chapter, Comrade Jerry Nnubia commended Governor Obiano for putting up an excellent performance since he took over the reins of leadership two years ago. “Being a renowned economic planner, asute banker and an accomplished player in world economics, Your Excellency has brought these qualities in the governance of Anambra State. In consequence thereof, Anambra State is beginning to notice an unprecedented and steady rise in its internally generated revenue,” Comrade Nnubia declared. Lauding the governor for his close attention to workers welfare, Comrade Nnubia said, “it is worthy of commendation that while some states in Nigeria went for bailout funds from the federal government for payment of salaries, Akpokuedike through prudent management of resources has continued to pay workers’ salaries. It is on record that for the first time in the history of Anambra State, we have a governor that has the magnanimity of distributing 50kg bag of rice each to all the civil servants in the state, for two years running for their Christmas celebrations.” The labour leader consequently declared Governor Obiano the “Labour-friendly Governor of our time,” further praising his exploits in agriculture as well as the mass transit buses he had launched to alleviate the transport challenges of workers. 2 Likes

Cattle economics will eliminate cattle terrorism. Invest in either mini or large scale cattle ranching and benefit from current windfall. Anambra consumes a minimum of 4000 cows a month and that translates to a minimum of N400 million worth of cattle transactions monthly. Anambra has over N5billion market for cattle annually. Grab your fair share of this market. Start small in your backyards. Visit the Anambra Ministry of Agriculture if you need technical assistance. Innovate. Grow richer. Eliminate terrorism. Innovate or go extinct. 3 Likes |

We don't need state protection, the fulanis are acting with presidential order. The best protection will be community or vigilante formation. |
