In Lagos, Contrary to the proposal of president Muhammadu Buhari on the establishment of what he called the cattle colony, the Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Political Matters, Babafemi Ojudu has rendered a piece of advice to The Presidency on Wednesday and advised Fulani herdsmen in Nigeria to embrace modern techniques of cattle rearing.
Babafemi Ojudu, gave the advice while addressing newsmen at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) in Lagos.
Ojudu said the adoption of modern techniques for rearing of cattle would put an end to the persistent clashes between herdsmen and farmers across the country.
He appealed to both parties to embrace peace and find a lasting solution to the crisis. According to Ojudu, “I think we need to plan on how to embrace modern, systematic and technological way of rearing cattle in the country.
“The way out of the crisis is not even a short time solution, because the herdsmen need to be enlightened on the modern techniques, but what Nigerians think about is short term solution.
“Perhaps, Nigeria does not even have one third of cows that South Africa has, neither do we have one third of what Brazil has.
“These countries are adopting modern ways of rearing their cattle without infringing on farmlands.
