Oyogist.com has learnt that the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association (MACBAN) has urged the Nigerian Government to issue Palliatives to herdsmen due to the huge losses of cattles they incurred across the country.

This was made known in a communique signed by the association’s President, Muhammad Kiruwa and National Secretary.

The statement read in part;

“It also calls on the Federal Government to introduce social support programmes to alleviate the huge losses of livestock; over five million cattle have been lost as a result of banditry, cattle rustling, kidnapping and climate change.

“The meeting calls on the Federal Government to carry out sensitization and re-orientation programmes for pastoralists and revamp the nomadic education programme for their children. It also calls on the Federal Government to deal decisively with our porous borders that makes it possible for the massive proliferation of arms and impose the implementation of ECOWAS transhumance certificate protocol to check influx of herdsmen from neighbouring
countries”
