Forty-two northern youth groups have endorsed the ban on open
grazing in the country. Southern governors had penultimate week issued a ban on
open grazing in the Southern part of the country
The northern youths disclosed this after its 27th delegates'
conference in Yola, the Adamawa State capital, on Saturday. Southern governors
had penultimate week issued a ban on open grazing in the Southern part of the
country.
This was made known in Yola, the National Chairman of
Northern Youth Leaders Forum (NYLF), Comrade Elliot Afiyo, also condemned the
Minister Justice and Attorney General, Abubakar Malami, for his utterance on
the ban on open grazing.
He said, "We have taken time to study the communiqué
issued by the southern governors, especially on the ban on open grazing. We
want to state clearly that open grazing has been the greatest threat to the
environment of the northern region and also a major threat to the security of
lives and property in the entire country. To the ban on open grazing, we call
for the establishment of Herders Commission or Agency to cater to the needs of
the herders. We also condemned the statement credited to the Attorney General
of the Federation on the ban on open grazing.
"We, therefore, appeal to the President to caution his
ministers and aides who, despite being in government for six years, are still
having opposition mentality. Afiyo also disclosed that NYLF would unveil its
endorsed candidate for Nigeria's presidency in 2023 on June 5, 2021.
