President Muhammadu Buhari has moved to halt the perennial clashes between farmers and herdsmen in the country.
In a report on Daily Trust, the president directed the Ministry of Agriculture to look into the clashes that have resulted in loss of lives.
The president gave the order at the State House in Abuja yesterday while in a meeting with the permanent secretary of the ministry, Sunny Echono.
Speaking with newsmen shortly after the meeting, Echono said the plan drafted when Buhari headed the Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF) would be considered to resolve the clashes.
“Incidentally, the president had received a detailed report on this when he was at the PTF on how to resolve this problem, and this blueprint is going to be made available to us together with experts and others who have also worked on the subject including the recent national economic committee resolution chaired by one of the state governors.
“If we localize all our pastures, you need to provide pasture and the ranges vary depending on the region you find yourself. These peculiar problems are the things that will come up in the blue print”, he said.
