President Bola Tinubu has created created the Ministry of livestock development.
The ministry’s creation was announced during the inauguration of the Renewed Hope livestock reform implementation committee to address the issue of farmers-herders crisis.
The Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) had tasked the president to create livestock ministry.
Alhaji Baba Usman Ngelzarma, ‘‘The entire livestock value chain issues can be addressed holistically rather than what is going on now at the National Assembly, working to create a bill for Animal Husbandry or Ranching. Ranching is just an aspect of livestock instead of going for ranching why can’t the president create a pool-blown ministry for livestock so that all the value chain related to livestock issues can be addressed holistically by that ministry?
‘‘Issues of production, processing, marketing, transportation even security related issues can be addressed if there is a ministry dedicated for that purpose,’’ Ngelzarma had said. MACBAN president, made the demand last month, saying pastoralists were looking for the creation of a full-blown ministry for livestock.
