Adamawa State Government says it has resolved to enforce a ban on the sale of cattle by middlemen.

The measure, the government claimed, would help to stop revenue leakages and boost internally generated revenues from livestock business where the state has a comparative advantage.

While speaking on the new policy, Bashir Ahmad, the Secretary to the state government, said the state government’s decision to disallow the sale and haulage of livestock out of the state to other parts of the country including Lagos, which collects about N35,000 levy on a cattle, was aimed at blocking revenue leakages and improving it’s internally generated revenue.

Bashir further disclosed that instead of taking livestock out of the state, Adamawa would now process and deliver beef to Lagos and other markets across the country.

He said, “what we collect as revenue per head of cattle is far lower than what’s been collected along the road to the point of sale.

“People take cattle from Mubi market here, move it to Lagos, along the road they pay nothing less than N5000 per head in like, five revenue collection points.

“By the time they get to Lagos and sell it, another N10,000 per head is paid just for the cow to be slaughtered; while in Adamawa where the cow originated, we’re left with about N300 to N500 revenue per head.

“So we resolved that if this thing originates from us then we should be able to generate substantial revenue just as others are doing.

“As we’ve seen how much revenue is generated outside the state from our cattle, we decided to harness it to improve our economy.

“To achieve that from now, we’ll improve the value-chain of the cattle by moving it from the market to an abattoir within the state, slaughter it, process it by separating the hydes, the bones, the horns and we’ll package the beef for shipment to markets in Lagos and other states.”

Recall that the administration of Governor Ahmadu Fintiri, desirous of boosting internally generated revenues, said it was approaching the capital market to secure to N100 billion bond, with receipts of N25bn to collected by the state in four installments, to be invested in the livestock sector.

The government had then said it would utilise the receipts in settling other outstanding liabilities, especially pension arrears which now stood above N22bn.

However, Bashir, while speaking on the state government agricultural business plan added, “By the time we do this, the N25,000 collected along the road and the N10,000 collected in Lagos for slaughter will remain here in the state.”

This is a good one from the Adamawa state Government.

Is not just going to help the Government generate more revenue, is going to create employment in the state.


I wander why people looting billions of Naira in Nigeria can't invest in things like the one in the YouTube video below


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uAUOnjI4Gk

Most of them are just building houses they and their family can't even live in up and down.

There is a lot of money in Diery and Poultry, but nah person with plenty money to spend on am, go fit enjoy the industry.

Not a bad idea. That is if they have the facility to process the cow.
On the other thought, will people be willing to buy processed beef?

Atiku people want to suffer the brunt of Tinubu's power

All Tinubu has to do to retailiate is to put LASTMA around Apapa Warf NPA and every Container or Tanker with Adamawa plate number or with final destination as Adamawa confisticated

They should go and ask what Fashola did to Obasanjo firms trucks entering Lagos from Ota that year



.

Idiot drunkard governor how many fulani that can afford 400k for one cow in adamawa state.

So Lagosians and other will eat beef they are not sure of its source and processing standard?

OdumegwuOjukwu:

Exactly my thoughts, that's where demands for their cow will drop

It won't work

What you write up here makes no sense.

Last time I checked they aren't giving it to people for free.

I give you my money, you give me your goods and everybody goes his or her way.

So why disturbing this little peace we are managing?

walemoney007:
What you write up here makes no sense.

Exact same thing happened under Fashola with trucks belonging to Obasanjo farms carrying poultry and other livestock

Obasanjo farms add to comply with LASTMA after few days their trucks and cargo stayed at LASTMA yard

If it will stop you from moving your cows to our farms

Fine

Moferere:


You reason like a primary 1 pupil

Bellow was between Fashola, LASTMA, LASG and Obasanjo farms limited, Ogun State Government

Every northern state should do the same. Let them stop moving cattle from one end of the Country to the other.

Their idea is not sound , imagine a chinese feeling cheated because goods they manufactured,sold and shipped off is being sold at a particular price in lagos.

Always abusing anyone that has his opinion..

You lazy South westerners self...

What do you export to any region in Nigeria...?

Assuming the country shuts down, what will this governor or people from other regions weep about..as something they will miss from you?

Nothing..

Una just get mouth pass everybody..

The SW depends on other regions, than other regions depend on it.

This is why you guys shout one Nigeria...even more than the northerners.

johnmartus:
An inconsequential useless thing ...your region contribute nothing to Nigeria that's why many dont give Bleep about your useless region you bring nothing to the table.

...yeah, that's why they want to leave and your security force are being targeted.

When will you ever want to leave with all you bring to the table?

What do you export to other regions..?

Mention one thing...

In you village you will see Hausas, Fulanis, Igbos doing one thing or the other...bring stuffs to your table...What do you do in other regions..?

Nothing....lazy man...

What is it you bring to the table?

agulion:
Make una kukuma eat una cattle instead of transporting it to Lagos, after all an average Yoruba Muslims man is more interested in human head than cow head

Are you people not tired of ethnic bigotry with all the suffering all of us are passing through in this country? This is not necessary

Good riddance.....adamawawa can fvck off with their cattle. Only in Nigeria were the seller thinks he's doing the customer a favor.

Nyamiris bring nothing to the table except fake and substandard products..... y'all are a cancer to any society you find yourselves in.

Other states in the south might also pass laws that will ban processed cow meat that they can't guarantee their health condition from entering their states. This will make southerners to massively invest in the cow business.

Hmmmm. Very intelligent governor. This is it, when the head has a brain.

Respect, Mr Governor.

This is how you guy politicize everything in Nigeria. At the end nothing works. The governor was only making business sense and you are here talking rubbish. This type of thi king is 2hat is needed to drive Nigerians development. Now look at this. Adamawabwill need good electricity, good transportation system around the country, standard abbatoir and so on to drive this. If they put these in place to achieve this, my brother, what are you saying.

And regarding the health of the cow meat, bro in terms of healthy meat, no one beats the Northerner to it. In fact be 200 percent rest assured that they will deliver healthy meat. Trust the North on this. I know them well, lovely people.
