The Minister said the National Livestock Transformation Plan inaugurated by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo was in line with the recommendations of the town hall meeting.<\/p>\n

Mohammed said nomadic cattle rearing is more of a culture and way of life for Fulani herdsmen and there is the need for vigorous advocacy to convince them of the benefits of modern methods like ranching.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the average Fulani man, moving around with his cattle is his way of life even when the business can be better done through other methods like ranching.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need time to convince them, that the average cow in a ranch produces 12 times the volume of milk and 10 times the quantity of meat than the one on the march produces.<\/p>\n

\u201dThat is why advocacy forms part of the components of the Federal Government\u2019s National Livestock Transformation Plan,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
