Nobody or society can accept that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe current high price of garri is one obvious reason of this behaviour. Few cassava farms cannot grow to maturity before it is harvested by the farmers. So, food <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/05\/17\/babangida-to-fg-equip-soldiers-with-modern-weapons-to-fight-insecurity\/\">security<\/a> is already being threatened.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ogbe\u2019s remarks come a week after governors of the southern region\u00a0resolved to ban open grazing\u00a0and the movement of cattle by foot.<\/p>\n<p>The governors said they \u201cobserved that the incursion of armed herders, criminals and bandits in the southern part of the country has created a severe security challenge, such that citizens are not able to live their normal lives, including pursuing various productive activities, leading to threats to food supply and general security\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Consequently, they \u201cresolved that open grazing of cattle be banned across southern Nigeria\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>While backing the call to end open grazing, ACF noted that \u201cthe bulk of the violent herders are the ones marching in from neighbouring African countries in large numbers, thousands at a time, and showing no regards to boundaries whether state or regional. They have to be stopped\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The forum urged northern governors to also consider use of ranches as an alternative to open grazing in the region.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTherefore, the Umar Abdullahi Ganduje formula must be adopted to stop the entry into Nigeria of cattle from West Africa. The solution is for Nigeria to seek an amendment to Article 3 of the ECOWAS Protocol especially as regards the free movement of cattle and other livestock without special permits,\u201d the ACF statement reads.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf this is done, we have over 5 million hectatres of land in old grazing reserves left, enough to accommodate over 40 million cows if well grassed and watered.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNorthern governors should immediately look into this and see the viability. Within those spaces, ranches can be developed for lease to Nigerian herders so that this matter can be brought to an end. Thereafter any herders found roaming can be penalised.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur ECOWAS neighbours can find ways to deal with their own issues the way they deem fit. We can seek support from AfDB, the World Bank, EU or the Kuwait Fund or any source willing to support us in resolving this problem.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHurling abuses, trading suspicion and threatening warfare as is currently the trend will only produce grief and disaster.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) has joined the call for an end to open grazing to tackle insecurity and address farmer-herder crisis in the country.
