Don’t give our land for ranching

Students from Ibarapa geo-political zone in Oyo State under the
umbrella of Federation of Ibarapa Students Association (FIBSA) have
warned the Oyo state government to steer clear of Ibarapaland for the
proposed cattle ranching.

FIBSA, in a statement signed by its National President, Ayobami Ayuba
Ayandele and obtained by DAILY POST on Sunday evening, urged the state
government to reverse its proposed decision of using Ibarapaland as
cattle ranch or the so-called farm settlement.

Ayandele, in the press release, insisted that the government must at
all times dialogue with relevant stakeholders and put the interest of
the people first in all its dealings.

He said, "We want Oyo State Government to reverse the decision of
using Ibarapa Land as Cattle ranch or the so-called farm settlement.

"The government needs to dialogue with the legitimate stakeholders of
our community and put the interest of our people first in any of its
doings".

Ayandele further demanded that the zone needs infrastructure and not
something he said will destroy the zone.

He said, "Ibarapaland do not need cattle ranch, we only need good
infrastructure and basic amenities that will promote our zone, not the
one that will destroy the peace in our land."
