The 10-man working committee
constituted few days ago by the National Economic Council to end attacks by
herdsmen has decided that every state should, by a rigorous consultative
process with all stakeholders, design its own solutions.
According to DailyTrust, the
committee, headed by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, comprises the governors of
Zamfara, Kaduna, Adamawa, Benue, Taraba, Edo, Plateau, Ebonyi and Oyo States.
A highly placed Presidency
official privy to the activities of the committee revealed to State House
correspondents on Sunday that the committee had resolved that the FG would not
impose any solution on any states.
The official disclosed that
Osinbajo, at a recent meeting of the committee, assured that the FG would
certainly not impose its ideas on the states.
The official said the vice
president noted that fears being expressed on the cattle colonies proposed to
establish by the Federal Government were misplaced.
He said the committee also
resolved that decisive military force be fully engaged to deal with bandits
"behind the killings in parts of the country especially regarding the
crisis often associated with herdsmen."
