BREAKING: Enugu Assembly passes anti-open grazing bill
The Enugu State House of Assembly, on Thursday, passed the Anti-open grazing bill into law.
The bill scaled through the third reading after a clause by clause consideration.
The passage came in line with the September 1 deadline issued by the Southern Governors for an end to open rearing of cattle.
The State Assembly earlier in the week held a public hearing on the bill, during which the umbrella body of Fulani herdsmen, the Miyetti Allah had asked for one month extension to enable them make input on the bill.
However, at plenary on Thursday the bill was passed into law and would now be sent to Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi for his assent.
that is good news as it shows that the west are United to fight common goal…
What are they (miyetti Allah) before this time that they can go through it?
That’s good of it, at least there will be peace between herders and farmers
I hope this will reduce the inflation in the country drastically without bringing dispute among the farmers and the herdsmen
Kudos to the governor for taking bold step
