Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State has rejected the call for creation of grazing reserve for cattle herdsmen.
Ortom said during Wednesday's visit of Mrs Aisha Buhari to victims of herdsmen attacks in Makurdi that all the land in the state belong to farmers.
He said that it would be difficult to create a grazing reserve in Benue as over 85 per cent of the people are farmers and have occupied the little land available.
He advised that cattle rearers should embrace ranching as an alternative to grazing as is the practice around the world.
News Agency of Nigeria, NAN reports that items donated by Mrs Buhari to the displaced persons included rice, multivitamins supplements, cooking oil, garri, and tomatoes.
