Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni has issued an order to the Ministry of Agriculture and Natural Resources.
The governor ordered the ministry to handover all the facilities of Nazari Livestock Development Centre in Jakusko LGA to leaders of the Fulani herdsmen.
This was contained in a statement issued by the Ministry’s Chief Information Officer, Aishatu Tijjani, and made available to newsmen on Monday.
The governor stated that the handing over became necessary as the multi-billion naira project is ready for occupation and usage.
He said his administration, in collaboration with the Federal Government, had invested billions of naira in the construction of the reserve which is the second-largest livestock development centre in sub-Saharan Africa.
Buni reassured of the readiness of the government towards supporting the grazing reserve for socio-economic growth and development of livestock production in the state.
“The construction of the Nazari Livestock Development Centre is a deliberate policy by his administration to settle headers in one place to concentrate on their grazing business and to enrol their children to school,” the statement said.
The facilities at the grazing reserve include milk collection centre, human and animal health facilities, primary school for nomadic children and feed mill centre.
Others are artificial insemination centre, breed improvement centre, warehouses and aqua-culture ponds, among others, all geared towards boosting livestock production in the state.
