In a bid to avert crisis in the 2019 farming season, a Fulan group, Kullen Allah Cattle Rearers Association of Nigeria (KACRAN) has appealed to the Federal Government and the 36 state governors to hurriedly assist towards preserving the existing grazing reserves and cattle routes from encroachment or total blockage by farmers.
National President of the
association, Khalil Mohammed Bello made the appeal in Damaturu on Wednesday.
He said the appeal was
necessitated due to the fact that it is only through protecting grazing
reserves and cattle routes as well as developing them for pastoral use that
permanent peace and stability can be achieved between herdsmen and farmers in
Nigeria.
“Because, if grazing reserves and
cattle routes are encroached or totally blocked by farmers or whoever else,
more especially in the Northern parts of the Country, where they exist for
several years, it would be very difficult for our animals to move freely on
their way to reach water points or for grazing.
“As a result of which some time
they entered into the farmers’ farms and destroyed crops which in many
occasions led to the avoidable clashes or conflicts”, he added.
Bello described KACRAN as an
association that is registered to bring peace and unity between cattle rearers
and farmers.
“In this regard, if action is
taken timely on the appeal under reference, intermittent or perennial conflicts
between the two parties will be reduced minimally or even to an end in
totally,” Bello declared.
