Katsina Gov, Masari says open grazing unIslamic

By Samuel Itsede

Katsina State Governor, Aminu Masari, has opposed open grazing of cattle, saying it should be discontinued.

Masari, in an interview with journalists in Katsina on Tuesday evening, described open grazing as un-Islamic.

The governor stated, “This is something we have to do through development, provide necessary infrastructure that will make the herders not to move.

“The herders’ movement is essentially in search of two things: water and fodder. If we can provide these two items, why should they move?

“The roaming about, for us is un-Islamic and it is not the best. It is part of the problems we are having today. I don’t support that we should continue with open grazing.”

He stated, “I support devolution totally. The Federal Government is trying. But the states need to have resources to implement what should have been implemented by the Federal Government.

‘’If today the states will support the police, the police system will go up. If the states withdraw their support to security agencies, they won’t be able to move from here to there.

“So, I absolutely support devolution. As a government of Katsina State, we should be allowed by the constitution to decide many things that are peculiar to us.”
