President Bola Tinubu has announced the creation of the Ministry of Livestock Development.
This announcement was made on Tuesday while the Presidential Committee on Livestock Reforms was inaugurated.
The establishment of the committee follows the submission of a report from the National Conference on Livestock Reforms and Mitigation of Associated Conflicts in Nigeria, convened by the former Governor of Kano State and Chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje.
The committee is dedicated to the reform of the livestock industry and the provision of long-term solutions to recurring clashes between herders and farmers in the country.
According to the President, the Committee is expected to collaborate with the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security.
