Co-Chairman of the Presidential Livestock Reforms Committee, Prof ATTAHIRU JEGA, on Thursday presented a 152-page report to President BOLA TINUBU, detailing reform measures for the livestock sector.

Part of the report recommended a ten-year transformation process through which Nigerians and the government can harness gains in the sector, including the recommendations on how best to resolve issues that result in the farmers-herders crisis amicably.

The report also includes operational guidelines for the Federal Ministry of Livestock Development, a new ministry created by the TINUBU administration.

JEGA equally recommended that livestock grazing and ranching should continue side by side, while the country promotes a long-term objective of having an intensive livestock sector.
