The new Ministry of Livestock Development will this year establish ranches in seven states across the Federation.

Checks by Nigerian Tribune revealed that two of the ranches will be in South west states of Lagos and Ogun while another two will be located in Imo and Cross River states in the south east and south south zones, respectively.

Two North East states of Adamawa and Taraba will equally have ranches along with the North West state of Kebbi.

The 2025 Budget sighted by Nigerian Tribune revealed that a total sum of N315m has been allocated to establish the ranches.

Aside from the allocation for ranches, the new Ministry with a total budget sum of N 11.8 Billion also made provision for poultry domestication farms in Delta, Abia and Bauchi states with a total sum of N150 million.

The Ministry budget has an overhead component of N1,800,000,000 and capital component of N10 billion.

A total sum of N600m has been allocated for provision of “Solar Powered in Livestock Production Communities in 30 Federal Constituencies of Nigeria.

Curiously, it also has N50 Million as provision of solar powered street lights for grazing reserve.


Further checks revealed that to address the mutual hostility between farmers and herders, the sum of N86 million has been allocated.

According to the budget, N85million will be spent on Stakeholders engagement with Governors, traditional rulers, leaders of thought on farmers – herders conflict at federal and state levels.

A total sum of N101m has been allocated for “establishments of Farmers and Herders Conflict Resolution Mechanism in Community, Ward, LGA, and State Levels.

The New Ministry also made provision for N97million as total expenditure to ” Establish a performance management system platform to Track Staff Performance.”

Nigerian Tribune checks revealed that the Bola Ahmed Tinubu administration had last July approved the creation of a new Ministry of Livestock Development at the inauguration of
the Renewed Hope livestock reform implementation committee at the State House, Abuja.

The committee was mandated to provide sector-focused solutions to address the age-long farmers-herders crisis.

Recall that on September 14, 2023, the National Livestock Reforms Committee had recommended that Tinubu create a “Ministry of Livestock Resources” to, among other deliverables, reduce the decades-long gory conflict between farmers and nomadic cattle herders nationwide.

Curiously, it also has N50 Million as provision of solar powered street lights for grazing reserve.

Good thatvyouvsrevsetting onky poultry farms in ND. we don't want any cattle in whatever disguise it maybe called be it ranching, reserves, or ruga.

This is desperation at his peak to Grab lands of indigens in the name of rauchig. Set those rasches in the North onmy. Why is that a problem. Jihadists using Apc szates to soread confusion in the later future where this " Ranches" are Established.

Why the hell creaze a Ministry of Livestock whe you have the Ministry of Agriculture. Tommorrow they will tell you that they needd sharia laws & sharia courts when they migrate to these areas like it is happening in Oyo state.

Edygrin:
Well anyone can go into ranching business it's not only for the fulani herders.

When the ministry of livestock was created a lot of people thought it was to benefit only the herders but anyone at all can now go into the business.

TimeManager:
Who's this?, sounds like an illiterate.

-Kiss the truth!

mrvitalis:
I don't know why anyone would want to set up a cattle ranch in IMO state for heavens sake

1) land is scarce
2) the climate is bad for cows
3) the people have categorically stated they don't want it

We all know setting up ranch in IMO would lead to death of people, we all know it would be attacked , we all know the villagers would protest

In the words of David Mark the people have a right to reject even what you think is good for them

DatNiggaDaz:


Curiously why Set " aside" 50 million for solar power for grazing reserves when you are talking about "ranching"

From which sqauare of grazing area reserves you intent to provide this solar energy ?

I hope reasonable Nigerians are not thinking what I am thinking.

No wonder TimeManager called you an illiterate, which is true.

When the ministry of livestock was created a lot of people thought it was to benefit a section of the country or the fulani herders but anyone at all can now go into the business.

DatNiggaDaz:
No wonder were fooled & deceived by a fake certificate drug addict & failed ruga darling daddy cluelessness fröm back to back.

don't think, don't ask questions. No sense only emptiness, Just copy & paste & follow ZONE b ' s to their renewed hopeless graves.

You are talking about ranches & thesame time talking of setting " aside" 50 million for solar energy grazing reserves. Thesame grazing reserves the former ruga president wanted to activate & Was rejected during his time is what your failed drug dealer wants provide solar lights for.

Nö wonder the free education bestowed ön you & your Generation was a total damn waste.

President Tinubu has promised to make a business out of cattle rearing and he is doing just that

Already in Brazil he got an investment commitment of $2.5bn and two weeks ago the investors were in Ogun State

I believe Oyo State also should partner with the Brazilians as it has enough arable land for ranching

Ekiti has one of the best ranches I’ve seen in this country run by Promasidor at Ikun Diary Farm

Oyo State also has a ranch run by Friesland (the pictures are below)

These are ranches that should be expanded on
