Middle Belt group kicks against govt’s demand for grazing lands

A group under the aegies of the Middle Belt Patriots, has kicked against a recent request by the Federal Government for states to provide lands to cattle herders for grazing.

The request for states to provide lands for grazing was made last Monday by President Bola Tinubu during the flag-off of the Agricultural Mechanisation Revolution for Food Security in Minna, Niger State, where he called on governors to give parts of the land in their states for ranching purposes.

The request had met with stiff resistance as groups like the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) as well as the Yoruba Nation have rejected the call.
