North Central Governors Adopt Ranching as best way of raising livestock

By Isaac Kertyo Makurdi    

Governors of North Central states have adopted Ranching as the best way of raising livestock, even as they approved the services of Agro Rangers and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps, NSCDC, to provide security for farmers.   

These were contained in a communique issued at the end of the meeting of North Central Governors’ Forum held in Makurdi, the Benue State capital.   

Speaking to Journalists, Governor Abubakar Bello of Niger State and Chairman, North Central Governors’ Forum expressed readiness of the zone to key into the Federal Government’s transformation program.    

According to Bello, the forum appealed to the Federal Government to support the zone in its ongoing Digital Technology project and other preventive measures to tackle all forms of criminality.   

The forum advocated establishment of military camps for training of guards to block the movement of hoodlums, emphasizing that such military units should be provided with adequate weapons.    The Governors implored the Nigeria Police Force to collaborate with State Governments in the recruitment and training of community Police to provide adequate security at the grassroots. 

The forum noted that efforts were being stepped up to involve traditional rulers and community leaders in intelligence gathering to assist security agents in fighting insecurity in the zone.
