President BOLA TINUBU has announced the creation of the Federal Ministry of Livestock Development in a move expected to end the perennial clashes between pastoralists and farmers.

President TINUBU approved the creation of the ministry when he inaugurated the Presidential Committee on Livestock Reforms at the Council Chamber of the State House in Abuja.

The approvals come 10 months after the President approved the establishment of the presidential committee to address herders and farmers’ clashes and bolster livestock and dairy industries.

Following the approval, President TINUBU said the Federal Government is fully prepared to cover the cost of acquiring lands to ensure the peaceful co-existence of pastoralists and farmers.
