Enugu govt, rice farmers lament destruction of canal, farmlands by herders

The Enugu State Government and rice farmers have expressed worry over the destruction of farmlands and canals by herders at the Ada Rice Farm in Uzo-Uwani Local Government Area of the state.

The state Commissioner for Agriculture and Agro-Industrialisation, Patrick Ubru, made the remarks while reacting to the destruction in Enugu on Monday.

Mr Ubru said it was pathetic that cattle had destroyed a canal that had been rehabilitated through the state government’s counterpart funds, which total several millions of naira.
