To curtail open grazing and its attendant consequences, governors of the Southwest geopolitical zone of the country have advanced the need for both state governments and the Federal Government to support cattle breeding.
The support, according to the governors, could come in the form of government establishing designated grazing areas, setting up feeding mills among others.
The chairman, Southwest governors forum, Arakunrin Rotimi Akeredolu, stated this while briefing journalists on the outcome of the meeting of governors, traditional rulers and security chiefs, held at Oyo state governor’s office, Ibadan, on Saturday.
In sum, Akeredolu said government at the various levels must devise ways to change the practice of open grazing by cattle breeders.
