The Senate has considered a bill to establish the national livestock bureau for the purpose of livestock identification, cattle rustling control, registration, and livestock disease control.

The bill sponsored by Senator MUHAMMAD BIMA ENAGI is aimed at sanitizing the livestock industry and addressing the persistent farmers/herders clashes as well as cattle rustling in the country.

SENATOR ENAGI while addressing the Senate also said the proposed legislation will greatly enhance the development of the country’s livestock industry.

He also added that the bill would serve as a guide for policy formulation by the government and ensure the regulation of participants in the livestock business.
