\n
The national leadership of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) has said the North must not ignore the ban on open grazing by Southern Governors.<\/div>\n
\n
\nThe General Secretary, Baba Othman Ngelzarma in his statement urged Governors in the region to open talks right away.<\/p>\n

Noting that the organization is not opposed to settlement of pastoralists nationwide, the scribe called for a proper arrangement.<\/p>\n

Ngelzarma regretted there was \u201cno attempt\u201d by past administrations to modernise the animal husbandry practices in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

He said pastoralists practice the \u201cprimitive system\u201d they inherited, and stressed such is no longer sustainable considering the growing population and \u201cland that doesn\u2019t increase\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe herders are bona fide citizens whose rights and privileges deserve protection\u2026the position of Southern Governors must NOT be ignored,\u201d Ngelzarma declared.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Northern Governors must open discussion with their southern counterparts on the matter in order to come up with an acceptable position for both farmers and herders.\u201d<\/p>\n

MACBAN urged the federal government to come up with a plan to address Nigeria\u2019s unity and assist Northern States to establish modern settlements (ranch).<\/p>\n

\u201cThe National assembly must legislate on the matter to bring an end to the problem. There are about 400 grazing reserves in the North that covers an area of about 5 million hectares.\u201d<\/p>\n

MACBAN wants state governments to consider the provision of water and grass in those reserves to make them attractive to herders as an interim measure.<\/p>\n

Ngelzarma appealed to Southern Governors to consider the plights of the pastoralists in their anti open grazing policy.<\/p>\n

He said some of the herders were born and raised in the South and appealed for caution to avoid worsening the country\u2019s security situation.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
