Tinubu's Government Declares Open Grazing Unsustainable, Unveils Livestock Transformation Agenda

The Nigerian government, led by Bola Tinubu, has announced the commencement of a nationwide rehabilitation of 417 grazing reserves to address the recurring farmer-herder clashes. The new Livestock Transformation Agenda aims to modernize the livestock sector and reduce insecurity by rehabilitating grazing reserves into economic hubs.

The government's approach involves transitioning from open grazing to modern ranching to provide long-term solutions to the farmer-herder crisis. Significant progress has been made in expanding the livestock industry and improving genetic resources and vaccine production.
