Gov assures on progress over EMOWAA, repatriation of Benin artifacts
The New Nigeria Initiative (NNI), a non-governmental organisation, has urged Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki to ban open grazing to prevent further herders and farmers clashes in the state.
President of the group, Uwadiae Odigie, gave the charge when it visited the Acting Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Agriculture and Natural Resources, Peter Aikhuomobhogbe in Benin City.
Odigie said Edo State and the entire country were being gripped by herdsmen’s brutality, cruelty and awful cycle of events.
He lamented that Nigerians have been left to swim in hopelessness, frustration and suffering.
