The Governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Ganduje, has called for the enactment of a law that will abolish the movements of herdsmen with their cows from the Northern part of the country to other parts of the country, in a bid to curb the increasing Farmers-Herders clash in most regions of the country, especially the Southern part, .
Governor Ganduje made his position known in an interview with Journalists, on Saturday, in Daura, Katsina State.
He said that the ban would also stop the problem of cattle rustling in the country.
His words: “My advocacy is that we should abolish the transportation or trekking of herdsmen from the Northern part of Nigeria to the Middle Belt, and to the Southern part of Nigeria.
“There should be a law that will ban, otherwise we cannot control the conflicts between herdsmen and farmers, and cannot control the cattle rustling which is affecting us greatly.”
He went on to call on the new Service Chiefs to work with the State Governors, in order to succeed.
He said that the call became necessary, because the Governors know the security needs of the people, and the various black spots in their States.
