Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje of Kano state is one leader who has been speaking the truth on open grazing. As a leader from the northern part of Nigeria, he has been consistent with the truth on open grazing, which other northern governors are yet to come to terms with. His position is quite clear on this issue. Looking at the stress these young boys who are trekking with a large number of cattle from the north to the southern part of Nigeria instead of being in school, one wonders why in this era of development, such backwardness is allowed to happen while the children of those who own those cattle are somewhere abroad studying and living large, but allowing the children of the less privileged to roam the forests of Nigeria with cows. This is not right. This is part of what Governor Ganduje of Kano state has been talking about. These children should be in school and not roaming about with cows, destroying people’s crops across Nigeria. Governor Ganduje of Kano state has agreed to give out a large portion of land in his state where ranching would be done comfortably. Therefore, the Viewers Corner News team is appealing to those cattle owners from the northern part of Nigeria who are using these children and at the same time arming them with AK47 guns to move these cows from the north to the south to take governor Ganduje’s offer, which is ranching. It is regarded all over the world as the best modern method of cattle rearing. Stop destroying other people’s means of livelihood with your cattle all in the name of “we are used to moving our cows everywhere as pastorals”.
