The National Economic Council says the movement of herdsmen has to stop across the country, especially in the five states that have been adversely affected by killings attributed to the herdsmen-farmers conflict.

The states, according to the council, are Benue, Taraba, Adamawa, Kaduna and Zamfara states.

“This movement by the nomadic herdsmen has to stop,” Governor Dave Umahi of Ebonyi who headed the sub-committee on the farmers/herders’ crisis told State House correspondents after the NEC meeting on Thursday.

Beyond seeking a ban on grazing, the council approved ranching across the affected states, which are expected to make land available for ranches.

In all, we agreed that the most profitable and modern way of rearing this cattle is by ranching,” the governor said.
