The end of open grazing is very near in Enugu State as Gov @PNMbah has embarked on an 11,000-hectare Livestock and Ranch Devt that will transform animal husbandry, keep cattle away from farmlands and streets, employ thousands youths, eliminate herder’s crisis & enhance security.

Will Fulanis benefit from the ranch?

If yes, it is what it is.

Don't forcefully take people's land and give it to "visitors" .

A proposal that was vehemently opposed and rejected when PMB's FG introduced it more than 6 years ago?

We are not serious in Nigeria as we attach unnecessary emotions to everything.

Modified:
Seeing so many mentions with excuses and wrong representations of what the then FG proposed. Sorry, you lot are not sincere. The FG then did not propose that ranches should be owned by the herders, rather to be allocated and operated as each state deemed necessary.

Nigeria is not a united country, and this is a major reason we cannot achieve anything meaningful together.

Every Enugu government always pays Nairaland to move useless topics about the state to front page.

Enugu has been totally ungoverned in the last 3 years.

Forget the optics

I hope it's not a code name for RUGA?

I no trust these apc people

Pls do it now I mean right away and any body in that state that oppose it arrest that person and lock him up infact treat that person as bandit or Fulani killers accomplice.

God bless Enugu state.

Shut up.

What buhari proposed was a forceful allocations of land for fulani settlement all over the federation.

You no fit deceive us all the time.

I hope its not a backdoor to allocate free Enugu land for Fulani settlements?

Igbo leaders will sell their mothers just so northerners will support them

Cattle rearing is a personal business, I see no reason the government should fund such project. Nigeria is not the only country where private citizens rear cattles, so why should it be any different ?
I hope the government will also provide the same amount of funding for private citizens rearing pigs, fishes and dogs.
Most Enugu folks I know are into buying and selling and mostly commerce. What percentage of Enugu people are into cattle rearing ?


We need the data because this might be used as a template for other States.

11,000 hectares is a huge chunk of land

Wow! This monicker an old warhorse, glad to see you around, been a while

Who are the people that would be managing this ranch.

Who would provide the feeds for the cattle

Whose cattle would be ranched here

Why should ranches be in the south east and not in the north

Whose land has been used taken to make room for this 11,000

So finally fulani has finally gotten there settlement in the south east, and legally too for that matter

You mean a proposal that was deceptively intended to allocate free land for Fulani settlements was rejected

Sounds like a good use of emotion

Enugu data boys at it again..

Who benefits

The north

Or the igbos

Should be run and managed by locals, not Fulanis....

Only if he has the interest of his people at heart.

That is RUGA! Deal with it o.

Finally, sense has started settling in. You don't have food yet FG is trying to help you, you are there doing poor man shakara. Smh.

PMB was a crook who wanted to forcefully seized indigenous land for Islamic Fulani terrorists...

That was why it was meant with strong resistance.

Pick a brain, dude.

After all the initial hot-air and gra-gra.

Gov. Mbah is a true progressive that has allowed reason to prevail over emotions. More jobs created + increased revenue + food production for the state.

Kudos to the Enugu State Government.

so gunMent wants to provide land for cattle farmers to do business.

when are they going to do same to all other private businesses ?

seriously, in a clime when the gunMent are really a ctually in charge, why would some people hold them to ransom

1. Religion
2. Tribalism
3. Regionalism
4. Emotionalism

State owned , state controlled , live stock , for the state people or fulanis

Hope it’s clear

Very impressive let it be headed by an enugu person there's absolutely no reason why cows will be destroying farmlands, roaming the streets and littering it with their excretas in this 21st century when they can easily set up a modern ranch system to accommodate those cows.

It should be open to all, the market is Kano, Maiduguri sokoto etc is open to all.

No non fulani state will accept such proposals when it's intented to be dominated and headed by fulani people.

why should buhari be interested in opening ranches for his fulani brother in another man's land?

It's intented to create thousands of new jobs and business opportunities.

Nice one from Enugu govt.

Ranching and animal husbandry is not the exclusive preserve of any ethnic group.

So sad that other groups in the country have given the monopoly to the Fulani man.

It is time other tribes train their own in animal husbandry, set up ranches and reduce the influence of the Fulani man in this business.

State governments in the south should set up massive ranches for their people to do animal husbandry and feed themselves with milk and meat.

No one will need to tell the Fulani man to return home.

Don't be over the moon old man.

We defeated ruga then, we will do it again this time if we find anything profulani about it.

This is a good development. And this is clearly different from RUGA, RUGA is an Hausa name attributing the land to Fulanis but this is modern ranching, a life stock farm/market owned by Enugu, managed and control by the state government, headed by indigen of Enugu, open to all law abiding Nigerian citizens. The land belong to the state and the state has the right to move, modify, dissolve the market in the future, meaning all traders/farmers occupying the land are tenants. Kudos to the governor.
