Miyetti Allah Kautal-Hore, a Fulani Socio-Cultural Association has appealed to the Federal and State Governments to retrieve lands gazetted as grazing reserves from farmers as part of efforts toward addressing the issue of incessant herdsmen and farmer's clashes.
The National President of the group, Alhaji Bello Badejo who made the call on Tuesday during a visit to the Governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal lamented that most gazetted grazing reserves have been appropriated to farmers.
“The Federal Government should bring back our grazing reserves, some are gazetted and some are not.
“We do not know the reason why the government is delaying the preparation of the grazing reserves so that cattle herders can go back to their grazing areas.
“We have the national and the international cattle route, where are they now? This is because the government is not serious about the reserves.
“We are saying that if these ranches are in place, farmers and herders crisis would have been resolved most significantly.”
