The Conference of Autochthonous Ethnic Nationalities Development Association is happy with the federal government over plans to create a road map to resolve herdsmen/farmers conflicts in the middle belt region.
However, Vanguard reports that the association is not happy with the plan to carve out grazing routes for herdsmen in the area.
In a statement issued in Jos yesterday and signed by Suleman Sukukum, the Association’s Secretary-General it advocated the phasing out of cattle routes and grazing reserves but placed emphasis on ranching and curbing of cattle rustling activities with States which have large livestock populations maintaining grazing reserves.
The statement was copied to the Ministry of Agriculture, National Security Adviser, Inspector General of Police, Director-General State Security Services, Chairman Northern Traditional Rulers Council, Speaker House of Representatives and the Senate President.
