The Plateau State Governor, Simon Bako Lalong while responding to state house correspondents after a visit to the president reechoed the need for ranching as a way out of the Farmer/Herdsmen clashes that have defied all solution at the moment.
Governor Lalong says he warned his Benue State counterpart,Samuel Ortom over enacting the anti-open grazing law.
Lalong says his recipe for tackling the herdsmen/farmers clashes is ranching and not anti-grazing laws.
He said his state donated parcels on land for ranching and believes government must make an investment in the venture.
This comes after the state government held a mass burial for the Benue residents who were killed in a clash between farmers and herdsmen on New Year’s day.
With the day being labeled as a ‘Black Thursday’ for the people of Benue state, many have cried out to the government to ensure that justice is served for the deceased.
With the spate of killings that followed the promulgation of the law in Benue,the lasting solution to these gruesome murders might just be in the ranching solution as proposed by Governor Laying.
