Kano State Gov. Ganduje Asks Fulani Herdsmen To Relocate To Kano

Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje of Kano State, yesterday, called on all Fulani herdsmen

 resident in other parts of the country, especially Benue and Taraba states, to relocate to 

his state since the state has vast grazing land to accommodate them and their cattle.

Ganduje, a Fulani, who stated this while inspecting the vaccination of over one million 

cattle and other small animals’ free-of-charge at Kadawa artificial insemination centre in 

Garum Malam Local Government Area of the state, as part of activities to mark the 

2017/2018 livestock vaccination programme, condemned the recent killings emanating 

from clashes between farmers and herdsmen, describing it as unacceptable.

The governor further said that as part of the government’s commitment to encourage 

herdsmen in the state, Kano State government has continued to provide facilities 

that will contain the herdsmen and their cattle to prevent them from travelling to other 

states in search of grazing lands.

Ganduje also stated that Fulani herdsmen of Kano origin do not move out of Kano to other 

states because we have enough grazing land, ranches and traditional stock route. 

So I am inviting herdsmen from all parts of Nigeria to relocate to Kano because

 we have enough facilities to accommodate them. 

We have grazing lands in Rogo, Gaya, Kura, Tudun Wada, Ungogo and 

other reserved places where facilities are in place to accommodate the herdsmen 

and their cattle.
