From Lateef Taiwo
Dr. Haruna Garus Gololo, has described the creation of Livestock Ministry as another landmark achievement by president Tinubu.
Speaking with newsmen in Abuja on Wednesday, the former Campus Coordinator of the vice president Yemi Osibanjo, for president said that, “president Tinubu deserved commendations for this landmark , the creation of Lives Stock ministry”
According to the controversial All progressive Congress (APC), Chieftain from Bauchi state ” President Tinubu has addressed our grievances. We were treated by previous administrations with scorn as if Fulanis are not Citizens or Nigerians. As Fulani man, a Cattle rearer, from Bauchi, I am Citizen and a Nigerian.
This was something former president Buhari a fellow Fulani man could not do”
He said that the Livestock Ministry “is the only forum that can coordinate Cattle rearers, anybody eating food must eat meat. But we are not recognised . And the ministry of Agriculture only focus on Crops. They have not been able to supply and produce ordinary Vaccines. This lives Stocks will address all the issues from the Cattle rearers to the end users “
” Rather than commending Mr. President, some of the merchants of crises, this morning was on Television, Channel Television saying they don’t need the lives sock ministry.The question one should be asking then , is who is he, to say what the government has done they want it’?’”
” From now Herdsmen and Cattle rearers will be closely monitored. As a Fulani man I can used computer to monitor “
” Speaking on the Bill on Ranching passed by recently, there is no difference between the Bill, it is integer part of the lives Stocks . Ranches , that is modern way of ranches, in the 21st century, we cannot continue to roam from one place to the other, we cannot continue from one point to the other”
” It will strengthen the relationship between the farmers and the herders.
Now you can monitor, identify the owners , you can keep your Cattle in one place and feed them and you can access loans from Banks “
He admonished the ministry to hit the ground running, put up machinery to identify Cattle rearers from point A to point B”
