Hundreds of people are killed yearly across Nigeria in violence between herders and farming communities.

By Abdulkareem Mojeed



President Muhammadu Buhari has restated his administration’s commitment to bringing back cattle grazing routes as a way of resolving clashes between herders and farmers.

Mr Buhari said this in an interview with Channels Television aired on Wednesday.

He said he has had personal discussions with the agriculture minister to bring back the cattle grazing routes in place during the First Republic, mainly in Northern Nigeria.

Many Nigerians have criticised that policy, saying herders should instead be made to raise their cattle in ranches.

Hundreds of people are killed yearly across Nigeria in violence between herders and farming communities.

Since coming to office in 2015, Mr Buhari has maintained the view that the restoration of grazing routes is the only way to solve the problem. He repeated the argument in his latest interview.

“The ministers of agriculture from Audu Ogbe to Mahmud now, one of the issues I discussed with them is to go and get the gazettes of the past republic,” Mr Buhari said.

“There are cattle routes and grazing grounds and cattle rearers are confined to those areas.Those that go outside those areas are arrested and farmers are asked to come make their claims. If they don’t have the money their cattle are sold and farmers are settled.

“So we have to go back to that again and make sure that we prepare those grazing areas and put the veterinary in place. We are working towards achieving that,” he added.

Mr Buhari said while his administration cannot do much about weather fluctuations that may affect food production, it has taken steps to deal with insecurity and “we are seeing the results”.

Insecurity have gotten worst under Bubu.

Ok

We say no

We have already won this battle

Buhari is leaving 2023

It's obvious Buhari's first love are the cows and his Fulani brothers. Every other things take the backseat.

This man is very unstable and stuck in the 70s... With all the developments that is happening all over the world and nation what is more important to him is grazing routes. He keeps talking about ppl returning to the farms and yet he wants grazing routes to be respected. So where cows will pass on their way to graze is more important than farms, lives and developments?

This is the change the people of the SW sold to us. Greed can never take anyone far in life.

Keep ur suffering route in the north

Dude does not have modern solution to anything... I mean not a single thing, always going out of context.


Not his fault, I blame those who voted him. From his replies, he doesn't even GAF about anything that's happening again.

Hmm, this guy really know how to handle this Afunja hypocrisy. Imagine how he kept silence for Akeredolu to wail finish.

He now after wailing , he slowly starts the grazing route again

Grazing routes that never existed.
Grazing routes in 2022?
SMH.

They want the grazing route of the first republic that only benefits the fulanis but don’t want restructuring that will benefit all Nigerians especially Southerns lol

Government of the fulanis for the fulanis and by the fulanis. If you’re not fulani you don’t matter, that message have been passed too many times
