open grazing is no longer sustainable, the Northern governors have said

Following the increasing number of Nigeria’s urban population, the current system of herding through open grazing is no longer sustainable, the Northern governors have said.

The governors spoke during an emergency meeting held virtually on Monday to discuss issues affecting the region and the country.

In a communiqué released in Jos on Tuesday after the meeting by the Chairman of the Northern Governors Forum and the Plateau State Governor, Simon Lalong, the governors expressed concern over the tension generated by the eviction order issued to herdsmen in some parts of the country.

They noted that the situation was heating the already fragile security atmosphere “with threats of reprisals which the Northern governors are working assiduously to contain.”

They also stressed the urgent need for the Nigerian Governors Forum to meet and discuss the issue holistically with a view to resolving all areas of misunderstanding and conflicts arising from the threats and suspicion for the sake of national unity.
