Ajomobi stated this at the launch of the ‘Agric Oyo,’ the Oyo State agriculture initiative, at Paago, Oke Ogun, Oyo state.
The governor said: “This is the time to call a spade a spade. Those clamouring for creation of grazing zones across the country should have a rethink. It is against the Land Use Act; it is against the law of natural justice to seize people’s land to cater for someone’s cattles.
“Grazing zones could be created for those who are traditional cattle rearers in their areas. I’m not against that. But, you cannot come here and tell me you want to occupy our land for grazing zones. The land exists in our respective states and as such the right owners should decide what to do with them.
“Anybody outside this zone willing to rear cattle here will need to approach the state to buy the land and we offer what is available with rules.There is no free land for grazing zones. We need to take this firm position. It won’t happen.”
He warned that the proposal is against the spirit of the land use act and the overriding public interest. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeletewell spoken indeed
ReplyDeleteKudos, don't just talk act if need arises
ReplyDeleteWill a Yoruba man or an Igalaman go to Kebbi or Zamfara and they will give them farmland or settlement free? Are Fulani herdsmen doing humanitarian services for doing their business? Has anyone gone to any cattle market queue up for Fulani to give them cattle's free? It is even criminal to contemplate such a bill.Any way it is the spirit of the change mantra. APC! Chanji!
