Buhari's Administration begins animal census and identification
The Federal Government said it has started the process of animal census, traceability and identification and explained that the exercise will help in tackling issues of cattle rustling as well as help get accurate data on livestock.
Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, Dr. Mohammed Bello Umar, who disclosed this at the end of the Fourth Global Dairy Congress Africa, at the weekend, in Abuja, assured participants of government’s willingness to implement useful suggestions from the summit.
Represented by the Director, Animal Husbandry Services, Bright Wategire, he said: “We will continue to intervene in those areas that are important to us. And, we will try as much as possible to improve on artificial intelligence and sustain the issue of pasture production all year round. It is a critical area because, without pasture, animals will not grow. We have started something in animal identification and traceability system. We are aware of the advanced stages that are available.
“Aside helping us reduce issues of cattle rustling, It will help us to get reliable data of animals that we have in this country. It helps improve trade relationship with other countries.
“The advantages are enormous; we are at the tail end of concluding our national dairy and breeding policy.”
Regardless, Chairman of the congress, Dr. Ayok Celestine, and the participants, unanimously urged government to establish effective price stability support mechanism to attract and protect investment in dairy farming; and also, called for robust intervention in addressing infrastructure deficits militating against the sub sector.
Dr. Celestine suggested upgrade of genetic potential of indigenous dairy breeds through crossbreeding and selection in order to enhance productivity and profitability of emerging dairy ventures in Africa.
He insisted that livestock extension services and innovation platforms should be mainstreamed to enhance farmers’ capacity and competence in dairy production processing.
“The simulate functional systems in other climes should be studied to speed up value chain progress and profitability, while allied institutions to boost availability and quality of support services and input should be strengthened.”
He expressed concern over the lack of effective waste recycling systems in African countries, and suggested refrain in the choice of dairy packaging; to avoid potential environmental consequences.

Everything in Nigeria today is about cows and other animals.

Is Nigeria an Animal Kingdom, an Animal farm, a jungle, or a Zoo?


It's annoying...

DJ Baba Ruga on the wheels of steel.

The world is talking 5G network, and successors to Android OS, Nigeria is talking cows and Ruga.

What kind of backward country is this?

Somebody that suckled directly from a cow and lost his virginity to a cow, will always see a cow as his people.

Respect Fela! The man who saw Buhari long before now.

Nigerians youths are bunch of idiots, they are not aware of their surroundings to know what government is doing and it’s imprecation on them, I expect to see millions of protesters in Nigeria right now demanding for good governance, credible electoral process, electricity, roads, schools. even this identification will help Nigerian youths start finding job because it will build investors confidence in security if Nigerians have compulsory national identification

Nigerians are the course of Nigeria problems. You people will not go and have yourselves civilized instead you will be using your primitive mouths and be coursing confusion for our leaders and giving them more rooms to eat and run with the national funds.
What is bad about this step by the FG?
Read and understand the article first. It is an advantage to national growth and a good step towards not only a massive employments but developments as well as it will (if maintained for ever) be another source of fund generating for Nigeria.
Well all I have to say is nice one Mr President, do your thing and make it live for ever. This is a national foundational repair.
