Why all Fulani herdsmen in Nigeria should move to Kano – Ganduje
herdsmen resident in other parts of the country to move to his state.
He stated that Kano has vast grazing land to accommodate them and their cattle.
Ganduje further lamented that Fulani herdsmen of Kano origin move to
other states in search of greener pasture.
He spoke yesterday while inspecting the vaccination of over one
million cattle and other animals at Kadawa artificial insemination
centre in Garum Malam Local Government Area.
He said: "They don't have any reason to move out of the state. We take
care of them and we accord them the respect and dignity they deserve.
"I am inviting herdsmen from all parts of Nigeria to relocate to Kano
because we have enough facilities to accommodate them.
"We have grazing lands in Rogo, Gaya, Kura, Tudun Wada, Ungogo and
other reserved places where facilities are in place to accommodate the
herdsmen and their cattle."
The governor also revealed that already, his administration was in
collaboration with the Federal Government and foreign agencies to
convert the Falgore Games Reserve into a modern grazing land.
"Falgore Game Reserve can take care of millions of herdsmen and their
cattle in Nigeria.
"The place has been designed to contain schools, human and animal
clinics, markets, recreational centres and other social amenities that
can give the herdsmen enough comfort to take care of their animals and
do their business without hindrance.
"These killings must stop. We cannot afford to continue to witness
these senseless killings in the name of Fulani herdsmen and farmers
clash over lack of grazing land while we have a place like the Falgore
Game Reserve under utilized.
"There is no longer fear of cattle rustling in Kano. Cattle rustling
are now history because we fought the menace headlong.
"In Falgore right now, we have enough security there. Those rustlers
have relocated elsewhere, while some of them who repented from their
evil ways were given amnesty and rehabilitated."
