Sylvester Idowu in Warri
Delta State chapter of the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON) has backed Southern Governors on restructuring and ban on open grazing of cattle in the Southern part of the country.
ALGON chairman in the state, who is also the Chairman of Ika North East Local Government Area, Mr. Victor Ebonka, while briefing journalists at the monthly meeting yesterday, lamented that Southern farmers were losing millions of naira to the plundering of food crops through encroachments on farmlands and exposing the region to famine and acute food scarcity.
He urged the governors to match their resolutions with actions, saying: “enough is enough of these criminal herdsmen who have been terrorising our people.
