The Ogun state government has held a stakeholders’ meeting on the farmers/herders clashes currently rampaging the state and the South-West region.

The Ogun State Governor, DAPO ABIODUN, said the essence of the stakeholders’ meeting was to find lasting solutions to the recent happenings concerning the coexistence of farmers and herders in the state.

He lamented that the issue had become worrisome that people, who had co-existed peacefully for years, were suddenly at each other’s’ throat on account of sources of livelihood.

The Kano State Governor, ABDULLAHI GANDUJE, who was also in attendance asked the Economic Community of West African States ECOWAS to see the clashes between herders and farmers as its problem.

He added that the lasting solution was for ECOWAS to either register the Fulani coming into Nigeria or prevent them from entering.

Other governors in attendance at the meeting were ROTIMI AKEREDOLU of Ondo State; ABUBAKAR BELLO of Niger State; ABUBAKAR BAGUDU of Kebbi; and BELLO MATAWALLE of Zamfara.
