President Muhammadu Buhari has said that the Federal Government in collaboration with some state governments is working on plans to create grazing areas for cattle to the incessant clashes between Fulani herdsmen and farmers in their host communities.
Buhari made the disclosure at the Presidential Villa, Abuja while hosting a delegation from
the Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue, an organisation that actively in the promotes peace in Nigeria, led its Executive Director, David Harland.
He said that the mapped grazing routes will soon be presented to the Governors' Forum as a temporary solution to the conflicts pending when the herdsmen would be persuaded to adopt modern means of raising cattle.
He identified poverty, injustice and lack of job opportunities as the major factors fuelling communal crises across the country.
Harland had told President Buhari that following the centre’s success in facilitating the settlement of the inter-ethnic and inter-religious conflicts in Plateau State, the group had moved to Kaduna State to try to achieve the same objective.
