Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo has banned movement of cattle on foot in every part of Anambra State.

Soludo, who met with members of Anambra State Cattle Menace Committee at the Government House, Awka, at the weekend, said the ban was in compliance with the 2021 anti-open grazing law of the State, adding that enforcement would begin from September.

“Now that we have a law banning open grazing, the law enforcement agents have been directed to implement it.

“Though the law has been in existence since almost one year ago, cattle rearers keep parading certain areas in the State in contravention to the law,” Soludo said.

Former governor of the State, Willie Obiano had assented to the Cattle and Other Livestock Open Grazing Prohibition and Ranches Establishment Bill of Anambra State in 2021, but failed to enforce the ban.

Soludo, while speaking at the meeting, said that his administration would ensure the implementation of the law by September.

He applauded members of the Anambra State Cattle Menace Committee for their devotion to duty, saying that Anambra people have largely lived in harmony with herdsmen, but the herdsmen must conduct their businesses within the ambit of extant laws.

Fashola and El Rufai remains my favourite but Charles Soludo and Zulum are very impressive

This cow bans is the major reason Buhari and his army allow terrorists in the South.

Very good . Nigeria is not India

Seems Soludo will work in Anambra... Some states are just meant to have good governors no matter what. But you see states like ABIA ( I have my reasons for writing that state in capital), Benue, Kogi, Delta etc. It's only God that will save them

Has the ranges been provided?

Who's stopping them from buying their own ranches? If all else fails just transport the meat instead of the cattle in refrigerated trucks.

Those that are into poultry? Was it the government that built poultry houses for them?

What I am saying is that the government should give time line for the ranges to be made ready, whether by the business owners or the government.

It can't be authentic. When you say ban, it means that it is no longer allowed. But this should come after the expiration of the period of grace given by the government.

Nna, this your points loud o. I think government should give a time for those who want to be in that business to build and complete their ranges. It is after this that they can ban. But if this isn't the case, then it is a wrong move.

Anti open grazing bill was signed into law last year.

The ban came in 2021 and the enforcement date is September 2022. How is that not enough time to adjust to new regulations? Be honest did you read the article at all?

Nice one. They should conform to this and stick to modern ways of rearing cattle...like ranching or better still, they should take their cattle business back to the north.

If that is the case then it can be banned. QED!
