This announcement has expectedly sparked national excitement around the future of livestock value chains and the potential to end the perennial clashes between herders and farmers. We thank Mr President for these historic steps and we are confident that all stakeholders will rally round the President to achieve this,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

On his part, Mr Kyari said that NAITS was part of the national livestock transformation programmes of President Bola Tinubu administration seeking to reduce cattle rustling and farmers-herders clashes, and engender peaceful coexistence in the country.<\/p>\n

He said that the federal government was working tirelessly to develop livestock transformation that would satisfy local demands and the exportation to foreign countries.<\/p>\n
