You are foolish. So if a militant group start killing people, the Eureka moment is rewarding them with land and 20% of other people's land instead of prosecution. You people amaze me.

This proposed Ministry is not about taking other people's land or rewarding Miyetti Allah. It is about improving livestock production in Nigeria. Of course, one way to do this will be working with livestock producers including cattle herders, livestock marketers and livestock product processors.

I totally agree with this suggestion. I think it is a brilliant one. It sounds forward-looking and developmental enough for both Federal and state governments to adopt and implement. First, it will solve security problems as extension officers will hear herdmen complaints first-hand and timely to initiate immediate resolution. Second, it will increase livestock production, create employment, expand meat production and boost foreign exchange earnings.

However, the only problem is that it is coming from a Fulani group that is more sensible than Miyetti Allah, which is actually the troublesome group. Will adopting this idea restore corporate sanity and remove bloodletting tendency from Miyetti Allah? If the answer is positive then we can shout "Eureka!", knowing we will soon sleep with two eyes closed.

What is now d job of d ministry of agriculture?

Lobatan! Government has hands in these demands.

If you are non-fulani and you are still eating cow meat you are an slowpoke

If you don't forgive, you give the past the opportunity it needs to keep you away from the future you desire

ogododo:
A Fulani group, Kulen Allah Cattle Reares Association of Nigeria (KACRAN) has demanded the establishment of Ministry of Animal Resources by the Federal Government to address numerous challenges confronting the livestock sub-sector in Nigeria.

It stated that this will be in recognition of the pivotal role that the sub-sector plays in sustaining the nation’s livestock industry and contributing to Nigeria’s socio-economic development.


In a statement issued Tuesday in Damaturu, KACRAN’s National President Khalil Mohammed also urged the Federal Government to as a matter of utmost urgency, focus on issues of policy formulation and programme implementation peculiar to the Ministry or alternatively give animal husbandry services equal budgetary provision as that of arable farming.

“Not only the creation of this Ministry, considering the diverse and often complex aspects of pastoral production, and significant position of the livestock industry in the national economy, we also call on Mr President to kindly appoint somebody who has very vast knowledge and experience on livestock production as a Minister, who will cooperate with his staff to achieve the Ministry’s desired objectives or alternatively give Directorate of animal husbandry services equal budgetary allocation as that of arable farming,” he advised.

The association further advised the federal government and 19 northern governors to implement polices and programmes aimed at addressing the plights of pastoral communities, tackle the issue of alleged injustice against herdsmen and earmark not less than 20 per cent of available land for pastoral production activities among others.


“As a matter of government policy, all development projects (agricultural or otherwise) should be considered in program design and implementations on pastoral livelihood, ensuring that adequate provision is made for livestock production. An environmental impact assessment of such projects should be undertaken prior to projects commencement.

“Regional nature of pastoralism requires cooperation among countries sharing common borders, which necessitates the linkages of Nigeria’s efforts of pastoral Renaissance to Cameron, Chad, Niger and Benin. The Federal Government should mount a strong lobby aimed at persuading all the neighboring countries to join in its efforts of sedentarisation of the pastoral production system.

“The Ministry under discussion should be given mandate or authority to identity foreign nations which possess livestock productions skills, to establish bilateral relationship on how the two side would put head together to develop livestock industry in Nigeria,” Mohammed demanded.

uchennaq:

Was is d job of d livestock department in d ministry of agriculture?

Justiceleague1:


Of cos,it makes more sense to you cos it's all about cows

And to you too because you like to mention cows.

Is there no department of livestock in d ministry of agriculture? What then is d new idea here?

lexy2014:


What is now d job of d ministry of agriculture?

The proposed Ministry will be taken out of Ministry of Agriculture like aviation was taken out of Ministry of Transportation. We can go further by creating one for Marine Resources to focus on developing fishery and allied activities. Fishery is a big business and that is the mainstay of countries like most Scandinavian countries. We haven't even scratched the surface on that. Now, what remains of Ministry of Agriculture can focus on food crops, cash crops and their processing. It is about decentralisation in order to make things more functional and result-oriented.

U didn't answer my question. What is d job of d ministry of agriculture?

lexy2014:

Take it out and make it more functional and responsive to national meat needs. That's the new idea.

chizpim:
sharap how many cows do you have in Nigeria? Do u produce enough milk for yourselves?

Exactly the reason why we need to increase number of cows in Nigeria and also improve production of milk.

We are saying the country is already over burdened with too many ministries, here they are asking for more. Is animal not a branch in agriculture? If minister of agriculture knws his onion he shld be productive in all branches of his ministry. Giving positions to politicians and expecting a technocrat result.

Do a bit of 'googling' and find out for yourself.
