FG and Govs agree to establish ranches to resolve clashes between Farmers and Fulani Herdsmen

Governor Simon Lalong of Plateau state, disclosed yesterday, in Jos at the dedication of the new headquarters of Evangelical Church Winning All, ECWA, that Pres. Muhammadu Buhari and the state governors have agreed that ranches should be created to address the frequent clashes between farmers and Fulani herdsmen instead of creating grazing reserves.

Lalong said:
“The President and governors agreed that there would be no grazing areas; ranches would be established by government where the cattle would be kept in one place and fed. Government will provide facilities like medical, schools and other needs in the ranches,”.
He said the ranches would be for anyone who reared cattle.

He urged people to be patient and prayerful as the Buhari administration works to resolve  the constant clash between the fulani herdsmen/farmers. He said lots of patience is needed because it won't be resolved within a year.

  2. Welcome development, and I hope the fulani herdsmen agree to remain in those ranches when it is finally established instead of perpetuating evil and causing trouble everywhere they take their cattles to graze

  11. Insulting Fulanis shows the idiocy of most of these commentators. This is a welcome move but we need the government to move fast. For all the sophistication of the so called people insulting Fulanis when you go to places like Ibadan you people living like animals and being extremely dirty.
