Taraba State government has officially effected its ban on open grazing throughout the state.


Governor Darius Ishaku of Taraba State has, therefore, joined his counterparts in Benue and Ekiti State to officially place a ban on open grazing.

Governor Samuel Ortom on May 22, signed the anti-open grazing and anti-kidnapping, abduction, cultism and terrorism bills into law in Benue State and effected the anti-open grazing law on Wednesday, November 1, 2017.

Governors Ishaku and Ortom also close ranks against attempts by the Federal Government to establish cattle colony in both states.

Ishaku made notice of the ban while addressing a crowd at the burial of the lawmaker representing Takum I state constituency, Late Hosea Ibi who was kidnapped on December 30, 2017, and was later found dead.

Some Federal lawmakers including Senator Emmanuel Bwacha and the Speaker of the Taraba State assembly have appealed to Governor Ortom to protect the state against the alleged genocide agenda of minority tribes in the Middle Belt by suspected herdsmen.

Governor Ishaku at the burial, therefore, declared Wednesday, January 24, as the official date banning open grazing while Ortom called for synergy in protecting the Benue/Taraba corridors.

another bold step forward.

Taraba dey try

Good development. Other well-meaning states should follow.
Instead of the federal government to acquire 5000 hectares of land in every state for farm colonies for unemployed youths, they are busy with cattle colonies as if beef is the most important thing in Nigeria right now.

The dullard and his Fulani foot soldiers can go and commit suicide

Good one for the people of Taraba. The governor have shown that he has some balls.

Taraba people should be ready for battle with buhari terrorist foot soldiers called fulani herdsmen but fight them till your last breathe.

It is better to fight till death for your ancestral land than to loose the land of your forefathers to illegal immigrant terrorist called fulani herdsmen

Congrats Taraba ..we are praying together with you..Remember this is just the 1st step , the next step will be to get Tarabans to get registered in preparation for voting Buhari out of Aso Rock

Waiting patiently for the implementation of shoot at sight order

Nice step.

Taraba is PDP state. That's a good move.

No long stories. Obey the law of the state or get out of the state

embrace anti-open grazing law of leave the state. The law is here to stay.




CATTLE REARING IS A PRIVATE BUSINESS NOT A GOVERNMENT ENTITY . STOP THE PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT!!

how comfortable it is for this people to be roaming the bush like people without future ambition, still baffles me...


get this people to be educated and stop constituting a nuisance to other people and watch them embracing new/modern ways of herding

Very soon every state will ban open grazing, sending the Fulani's back to libya

Hmmmm, I see why power should be given to states more..

The answer is to buy grass cutter tractor for this people for them to be feeding these cattles why are we making things difficult for ourselves. So much grasses that we just need storage for these people.

Am calling on the Delta state government to do same.. please ban these terrorist from our state, we don't Welcome criminals.

There was a time I was travelling to Obiarukwu, you need to see some Fulani camp around that axis, especially abraka/obiarukwu boundary.

very good.

Sir, it would be necessary to standby the decision on ban on open grazing in your State
