Nigeria and Botswana Strengthen Collaboration in Livestock Development

Nigeria's Ministry of Livestock Development is partnering with Botswana to revamp the livestock sector by adopting data-driven policies and modernizing outdated systems. The collaboration aims to improve cattle genetics, enhance disease surveillance, and upgrade veterinary protocols.

Botswana's successful beef export model, driven by long-term strategies and strong institutions, serves as a benchmark for Nigeria's transformation efforts. The focus is on creating a competitive livestock industry leveraging Botswana's expertise.
