On May 11, 2021, Governors from the southern part of Nigeria met in Asaba, Delta State to proffer solutions to killings, kidnapping and other challenges bedevilling the nation.
The governors, under the aegis of the Southern Nigeria Governors’ Forum (SNGF), condemned open grazing of animals and movement of cattle from the northern part of the country to the south.
The governors also called for a national conference to determine national questions bothering on the nature of Nigeria’s federalism and federal character in national appointments, among other issues.
Earlier before Southern Governors’ decision banning open grazing of cattles, the Abia State House of Assembly had in 2018 passed the anti-grazing bill, which prohibits nomadic cattle rearing and grazing routes in the State.
