ABEOKUTA – Kano State Governor, Abdulahi Umar Ganduje, has called on the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to take drastic steps in curbing foreign herders who are always armed with sophisticated weapons from making incursion into Nigeria.
The Kano State governor made the call on Tuesday, while speaking at the Stakeholders’ Parley on Farmers/Herders Conflict, organised by the Ogun State government, held at the Obas’ Complex, Oke Mosan, Abeokuta.
He also advocated what he described as “commercial herding” as panacea to the incessant clashes between herders and farmers in the country.
Ganduje reiterated his call on the federal government to ban open grazing and block grazing routes from the northern to the southern part of the country.
