Buhari Approves N6.25bn For Cattle Ranch Development In Katsina

Governor Aminu Bello Masari of Katsina State has disclosed that President Muhammadu Buhari, has approved the sum of N6.25 billion for ranch development purposes in the state.

Masari was speaking at the commissioning ceremony of the Zobe regional water project in Katsina State, saying the donation was made to speed up developmental activities in the state.

He said: “Mr President has graciously approved the sum of N6.25 billion for ranch development purposes in Katsina State. Part out of this amount, N5 billion is already in the account of the state government and within few weeks you will see advertisement calling for interested companies and consultants that would wish to participate.”

He further explained that the Zobe water project is part of the MoU the Federal GGovernment signed with the State in October 2017 to boost water supply and address water scarcity, adding that the Federal Government has completed its part of the agreement signed for the project for the cost of over N22 billion.

“On our part, all arrangement has been put in place for the completion of phase 1B of the project at the cost of N4, 966,499.00,” he added.

Governor Masari, therefore, commended President Buhari for completing the water project, which was abandoned for 25 years by successive governments, urging other well-meaning individuals to invest in the water sector for the wellbeing of the people, while the state government will provide enable the environment.

For his part, President Buhari noted that the Zobe water project was designed to improve infrastructure, water supply and sanitation, which are essential for the wellbeing of the people.

He called on the community who are the beneficiaries of the project to protect it against vandalisation.

...and rightly so.

It is now government business because the insecurity (clashes with farmers and cattle rustling) that grazing now causes is government's number 1 constitutional responsibility.

You are wasting your time with these illiterate folks. Government create technology hubs to support the development of IT sector, largely private business. They only remember private business when their primordial sentiments and bigoted mindset is involved.

You don't want ranching those who want ranching are being supported to achieve it thus modernising the practice of animal husbandry that you an illerate does not mean you can not think.

Ranching will improve government revenues and reduce the incidence of theft but we are dealing with a very bigoted group of individuals who place hatred over everything.

Why should FG donate ranch money to states who said they have no land or are not interested in ranching?

They should come up with what they want and approach the FG for help. You can't say you don't want something and be envious when those who want receive

Rossinkipp:


We call this brainless opposition.

You attack him for not solving the herdsmen crisis.

He builds ranches to solve the issue.

You attack him for focusing on the problem you highlighted.

Logical conclusion: You're brainless.

You are the brainless here boy. Tell me please, when did cow business becomes a government business that you have to allocate money for it? And will the donations be applicable to other livestock farmers such as goat and pig farmers? Tell me again please, has the government also set aside or be willing to donate money to farmers that had suffered in the hands of these marauders in the southern part?
One day soon and it won't be long; you guys will pay dearly for your atrocities.

If that's going to bring peace so be it.

When is he going to approve 10 billion for auto spare parts development at Nnewi too?
Lol
This country is Evil!
You use federal government money to develop personal business of those you consider to be "your people," while preaching empty patriotism to others?
Sick people..

For me, many Southerners should go into cattle ranching business so, Government can give u ur own share of money

Provide land for ranching to your indigenous people so you can get federal allocation.
