Kano Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje,
has again called on all Fulani herdsmen resident in other parts of the country
to move to his state.
He stated that Kano has vast
grazing land to accommodate them and their cattle.
Ganduje further lamented that
Fulani herdsmen of Kano origin move to other states in search of greener
pasture.
He spoke yesterday while
inspecting the vaccination of over one million cattle and other animals at
Kadawa artificial insemination centre in Garum Malam Local Government Area.
He said: “They don’t have any
reason to move out of the state. We take care of them and we accord them the
respect and dignity they deserve.
“I am inviting herdsmen from all
parts of Nigeria to relocate to Kano because we have enough facilities to
accommodate them.
“We have grazing lands in Rogo,
Gaya, Kura, Tudun Wada, Ungogo and other reserved places where facilities are
in place to accommodate the herdsmen and their cattle.”
The governor also revealed that
already, his administration was in collaboration with the Federal Government
and foreign agencies to convert the Falgore Games Reserve into a modern grazing
land.
“Falgore Game Reserve can take
care of millions of herdsmen and their cattle in Nigeria.
“The place has been designed to
contain schools, human and animal clinics, markets, recreational centres and
other social amenities that can give the herdsmen enough comfort to take care
of their animals and do their business without hindrance.
“These killings must stop. We
cannot afford to continue to witness these senseless killings in the name of
Fulani herdsmen and farmers clash over lack of grazing land while we have a
place like the Falgore Game Reserve under utilized.
“There is no longer fear of
cattle rustling in Kano. Cattle rustling are now history because we fought the
menace headlong.
“In Falgore right now, we have
enough security there. Those rustlers have relocated elsewhere, while some of
them who repented from their evil ways were given amnesty and rehabilitated.”
