NATIONAL DIALOGUE ON POWER IN HEALTH SECTOR: FG SETS UP COMMITTEE TO RESOLVE ELECTRICITY CHALLENGES IN PUBLIC HEALTHCARE FACILITIES. (PHOTOS). #PRESS RELEASE.

The south-west chapter of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association (MACBAN) says it needs time to train its members on how to stop the practice of open grazing.
Maikudi Usman, zonal secretary of south-west MACBAN, made the plea on Wednesday at the public hearing of the Lagos state anti-open grazing bill.
He said the members of the association need time to be educated on āhow they will be breeding cattle in one place and not transfer to anybodyās landā.
āOur breeders are not used to breeding cattle in one place. They move from here to another place. When we say weāll keep cattle in one place, the owner of the cattle will not have funds to feed the animals in one place,ā Usman said.
āTheyāve already depended on going from one place to another. Because in the rainy season time, we have where we settle down, and we also have for the dry season.
āWe are pleading with Lagos state government to give us time to go tell our people and train them how they will be breeding cattle in one place and not transfer to anybodyās land.
āBut breeding in one place, right now, our people do not have the power to do so. What youāre not used to, you have to be taught. And gradually, everybody will understand.ā
