The Oyo State Government at the weekend dared the federal government with a revelation that it would not only start the implementation of its anti-open grazing law in full hog, but will also raise a special task force to hunt down defaulting herdsmen.
Makinde, also, said it was clear that governors across the federation “are not the Chief Security Officers” of their respective states, but mere Chief Logistics Officer.”
The state governor, Mr. Seyi Makinde revealed this plan at a session with journalists at the Government House, Ibadan, Oyo State capital, noting that the task force would be inaugurated in the next two months.

The Northern Governors Forum (NGF) has agreed that open grazing is unsustainable and initiated measures to end it, Plateau State Governor, Senator Simon Lalong has revealed.
Lalong, Chairman of the forum, has therefore asked the federal government to release funds for the implementation of the National Livestock Transformation Plan (NLTP).
Lalong made this disclosure yesterday during the seventh Annual Lecture of Sir Ahmadu Bello Memorial Foundation in Kaduna.
He stated that his northern colleagues had agreed to adopt ranching.
The Forum of Southern Governors had banned open grazing in all the 17 southern states. They recommended that the federal government should support willing states to develop alternative and modern livestock management systems.
