The International Fund for Agricultural Development says it will soon establish three mega grazing reserves in Sokoto State.
The Director-General of the Organisation in the state, Alhaji Aminu Dogon-Daji, disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria.
Dogon-Daji said each one of the proposed grazing reserves would be established in each of the three senatorial zones of the state.
He said two of the reserves would be 300 hectares wide, while the third one would be 400 hectares wide.
Dogon-Daji said: “They will be provided with pasture, primary schools and clinics, among other facilities.
“The gesture is aimed at curbing the menace of the perennial clashes between farmers and herdsmen,as well as boosting livestock production.”
The director-general also said that the measure would curtail migration of herdsmen from the northern part of the country to the south in search of greener pastures.
