Most of the governors have placed a ban on open grazing in their states before the meeting. We looked at what is happening in our respective states. Most of the states have passed laws on<a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/05\/13\/states-should-legalise-open-grazing-ban-falana-tells-southern-governors\/\"> open grazing<\/a>. Virtually all of us have passed that law. We felt that this open grazing must stop. It is causing a lot of problems particularly between the herders and the farmers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Whether we like it or not, times have changed and this must change. We must adopt a modern system of animal husbandry.<\/p>\n<p>In this day and age, they cannot continue taking cows by foot from Kano to Port Harcourt,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Governor Akeredolu said the Federal Government needs to throw its weight behind state governments that want to set up ranches. According to him, this would benefit herders who are exposed to dangers as they roam with their cattle.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-transform: initial\">\u201cAt the meeting, we referred to what Governor Ganduje said. It was clear that he is also against open grazing. He says it does not augur well and the herders also do not benefit from it. There is no development, they are exposed to dangers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>That why we suggested that the Federal Government should intervene to help these herders. The Federal government should give money for ranches to be created. That is why it is part of our recommendation that states who want to create ranches be supported.\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Executive Governor of Ondo state and Chairman of the Southern Governors&#8217; Forum, Rotimi Akeredolu has revealed why the Southern governors banned open grazing in the region.
