Peter Mbah of Enugu State has signed four bills into law to stop open grazing of cattle and land grabbing in the state.
While signing the bills into law on Wednesday, Mr. Mbah stated that these laws are part of his administration’s efforts to make the state “the best place for investment, business, leisure, and living.”
While posting on his Facebook page on Wednesday, said the anti-open grazing had been “misunderstood and misrepresented”
“However, we must put an end to the practice of open grazing, which causes friction between our farmers and herders. Our goal is to see that it ends.
“We will ensure that there are enough services, such as abattoirs and proper cattle markets, not where people will come and live,” he added.
