Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Miyetti Allah has said that the ban on open grazing by the Governors of Southern Nigeria will remain ineffective until an alternative to grazing is provided for the herders.<\/p>\n

South East Chairman of Miyetti-Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria, MACBAN, Gidado Siddiki, said this in response to the call by former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Dr. Okwesilieze Nwodo, on all the states Houses of Assembly in South East Nigeria to enact anti-grazing law in their respective states.<\/p>\n

Gidado Siddiki mentioned that they were not opposed to ban on open grazing but that the public hearing on constitution review should grant all parties the right to make submissions for a law against open grazing.<\/p>\n

Open Grazing: Why Nigerian govt should support ranching \u2013 Okowa<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were not given the chance to go for the Constitution review public hearing, we went there but nobody gave us an audience to talk. We did not submit a petition,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He noted that the South East leaders are yet to provide ranching as an alternative for herders in conducting their business, hence the reason such decision will remain ineffective.<\/p>\n

Siddiki said: \u201cOur position is that we are not opposed to the ban on open grazing, but at least we need an alternative.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know when somebody is doing business and you stop him from doing that business, he would be given an alternative on what to do.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you say that you have banned open grazing, you need to tell us how we should graze our cows because what we know is grazing. If there is an alternative, there is no problem, and that is the only thing we are begging for.\u201d<\/p>\n

He urged the governors to call on all parties in making laws in respect to open grazing, adding that there is no provision for ranching in most states which poses a problem to herders.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf open grazing is bringing problems, let us find ways we can coexist.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf there is provision for ranching, we can do ranching but I do not think there is provision for ranching in states. Even Benue State that banned open grazing, I don\u2019t think there has been any ranching in Benue State in all these years.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, I don\u2019t know if there is provision and that is our own problem,\u201d the Miyettl Allah leader said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
