Insecurity: Kano Gov, Ganduje orders herdsmen census

Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has set up a committee of experts and concerned stakeholders to take stock of all herdsmen from the state.

According to Daily Post, the Governor stated during an interactive session at Abubakar Rimi Television (ARTV), Monday night.

He assured that he would not relent in his effort to see that Kano remains peaceful.

“We want to know how many herdsmen we have in Kano. That is why we set up a Fulani and other stakeholders committee to take a stock of all our herdsmen in the state. And even those that are not in the state presently, but are from Kano,”

“We want to see how we can integrate them into the larger society. They should also come and feel presence of governance. Knowing their number will help us formulate good policies for their welfare and that of the society in general,” he said.

While urging the herders to vacate to Dansoshiya forest, a Ruga Project to cater for their concerns Ganduje said, “We have started discussion with experts to come and grow grass, that will be used in feeding cattle. Before this, we have provided some residential areas, good system of water supply and other facilities for herders. And they have since started relocating to Dansoshiya.”
