Ekiti Assembly Passes Bill To Ban Free Grazing by Lildav: 7:07pm On Aug 25, 2016 |
Ekiti State House of Assembly on Thursday passed the bill to ban free
grazing in the state.
The bill also prescribed six months imprisonment without an option of
fine for any offender of the bill that also ban movement of cattle after
6pm in the state.
The passage of the bill followed the submission of a report of Joint
Committees on Agriculture and Environment by its Chairman, Mr
Ayodele Fajemilehin, to the House.
The Speaker of the House, Mr Kola Oluwawole, who presided over the
plenary, said the bill would now reduce the incessant clashes between
farmers and herdsmen in the state.
If the bill is eventually accented to by the governor, it will now become a
crime for any cattle, sheep and goat to graze on undesignated land for
ranches in Ekiti.
According to the new bill tagged,” Prohibition of Cattle and Other
Ruminants Grazing in Ekiti, 2016″, anyone found violating the bill upon
conviction shall be sentenced to six months in prison without the option of
fine.
Others included, “The Governor shall by an order designates land in each
of 16 Local Government Areas in the state in respect of which Cattle or
Ruminants may be permitted to graze.
The rest are,” No person shall cause or permit any cow, oxen, sheep as
well as goat under his or her control to graze on any land in which the
Governor has not designated as ranches” among others.
“No cattle or other ruminants shall by any means move in the night,
movement shall be between 7 a.m and 6p.m” |

I hope states with crying governors can copy Ekiti's pragmatic solution to the marauding herdsmen menace. |
