Controversial Grazing Bill reappears in Senate, passes first reading

The controversial bill for the establishment of a National Grazing Reserves Agency today reappeared before the Senate and scaled the first reading.


The National Grazing Reserves Agency Bill was sponsored by Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, All Progressives Congress, APC, Kano Central and co-sponsored by others.

The National Grazing Reserves Bill that which has passed already second reading in the House of Representatives, has been generating ripples in the southern part of the country and some parts of the north especially against the backdrop of frequent clashes between Fulani Herdsmen and farmers across the country which has led to killings, kidnapping and wanton destruction of property.

The bill, which may become law when it passes the last and third reading in the House of Representatives and assented to by the president, seeks to establish grazing reserves and stock routes for cattle rearers in all the states of the country.

  1. What are the Southern Senators doing there? Not voicing any opposition to this archaic law. How can any reasonable government forcefully grab lands for some citizens and reserve it for another, for commercial purpose. Or what overriding public interest will such a land so grabbed serve? Southern states' representatives in the National Assembly, speak up now!
