Taraba Temporarily Suspends Anti-Open Grazing Law

Taraba State Government has temporarily suspended the Anti-Open Grazing law to make room for some amendments as farmers and herdsmen agree to shield swords.

This was sequel to a three-day interactive session between the National Economic Council Technical sub Committee on ending herders/farmers crisis, and other stakeholders in the state.

Speaking on this development, Leader of the NEC technical sub-committee Governor Dave Umahi of Ebonyi State commended Governor Darius Ishaku for being considerate enough to allow for a review of the law after it has been duly passed by the state Assembly.

“It is our finding that the Miyetti Allah refused to appear at the public hearings organized by the state while this Bill was under consideration and so could not lay their complaints on areas that affected them negatively,” Umahi noted.

“After much deliberation, we have agreed that certain parts of the law should be revisited to reflect the complaints that arise from this interaction. That means despite the grace period given earlier, more grace period would still be granted during which these issues would be looked into and the pioneer ranches would be set up.

“I think it is important to acknowledge and appreciate the leadership model displayed by the governor who listened dispassionately to the issues raised by all the parties and has agreed to give room for the complaints made by some stakeholders to be factored into the law. I am sure this would mark the end of herders farmers crisis in the state.”
