THE Senate spokesperson, Dr. Ajibola Basiru, on Wednesday insisted that there was no law on grazing routes in any part of Nigeria.
Rather, the lawmaker said the law on grazing reserves recognised as a state law in the 1999 Constitution, actually criminalised open grazing.
The Osun Central Senatorial District Senator who holds a doctoral degree in property law, gave the clarification in a statement personally signed by him in Abuja on Wednesday evening, titled, ‘No law of grazing routes in Nigeria: Either North or South.”
He maintained that modern animal husbandry practices remained the panacea to herders/farmers clashes in Nigeria.
