The endosement of the National Livestock Transformation Plan (NLTP) by pastoral families and crop farmers in Gongoshi community as a way of promoting peaceful co-existence as well as enhancing their livelihoods is exciting and encouraging, according to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN. .
The Vice President stated this on Tuesday at the formal launch of the implementation of the National Livestock Transformation Programme at the Gongoshi Grazing Reserve in Mayo Belwa LGA, Adamawa State. .
According to Prof. Osinbajo, "I see that everyone is happy that we are able to launch the scheme here today and I have seen from the various placards being carried around that they intend that this will be a peaceful implementation of a very laudable scheme."
.
Speaking specifically about some components of the plan,  the Vice President said "the plan will provide a basis for peaceful coexistence, jobs for many, and a mechanism for resolving disputes."
.
"This solves the problem of cattle grazing into and destroying farmlands. It ensures a practical response to the pressures on water and pasture by forces of  climate change. .
"And it provides a modern meat and dairy industry and in some cases integrated crop farming.

 The unique feature is that any participating  State will determine its own model," the Vice President added. .
