Bauchi State started a new team to stop fights between farmers and animal keepers. Governor Bala Mohammed created this group at the Ministry for Local Government. His assistant Hashimu Yakubu spoke for him at the event. These clashes have killed people and ruined property across the area. The committee wants to build peace between the two groups.
The state joined a project called L-PRES that helps animal keepers with better grass, food, medicine, and water. Committee members will watch where animals go along set paths. They will teach farmers and herders how to live together without problems. They must help settle arguments when they happen. The group will make sure damaged crops or hurt animals receive fair payment.
Ministry official Ibrahim Muhammad Bello praised the governor for this idea. The national project leader sent Nazif Ibrahim Wada to represent him at the meeting. Wada asked the committee to change how people think about farmer-herder relationships. The governor expects members to use their skills to fix these long-standing issues. Everyone hopes these steps will prevent future violence in Bauchi.
