The leader of Fulani herdsmen in Abuja, Malam Ardo Bara has said that the Federal Capital Territory administration has distributed free vaccines to herdsmen in the territory.
Bara told the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN on Wednesday in Abuja that the vaccines which would help in the prevention of cattle diseases were distributed to the herdsmen by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Muhammad Bello.
His words.
“I told them (herdsmen) that whatever transpired between us here, we take to government.
“So they know that they are very important and are recognised.
“They contribute to the economy; therefore, they should make their lives better.
“By obeying the rules and regulations of our constitution, by obeying laws by coming together and respecting themselves.
“We received a favour from the government last week; the government promised to vaccinate our cattle free of charge.
“The kind of diseases that destroyed cattle before is no more.
“They promised to locate cattle anywhere in Abuja to vaccinate them, for prevention and cure.
“So this is a step forward for the Fulani community. I believe the previous governments were not able to do such things.
“That is to assure the Fulani that government needs him and it is very important.
“I still have to remind them that 10 together are greater than thousands that are divided.’’
