Fulani group welcomes NLTP, calls on
Afenifere, PANDEF, others to give support
A Fulani
group under the aegis of Jonde Jam Fulani Youth Association of Nigeria,
JAFUYAN, has commended the efforts of the federal government to end the
incessant herders/farmers conflicts through the National Livestock
Transformation Programme, NLTP saying the criticism of the programme are done
by some Nigerians who do not want peace in the country.
The group
particularly targeted the Pan-Yoruba and Niger-Delta Socio-Cultural Group,
AFENIFERE and the PANDEF stressing rather than criticize the programme, the
groups should cooperate with the federal government to proffer solutions to the
myriads of problems facing the country.
The group in
a statement issued by its National President, Saidu Maikano stated, “On behalf
of the Fulani Youths Association and the entire Fulani Communities in the country,
I am hereby forwarding our concern over the criticism made by Pan Yoruba Socio
Cultural Group, AFENIFERE and PAN-Niger Delta Forum, PANDEF over the recent
establishment and launching of National Livestock Transformation Plan (NLTP)
done by Federal and State Governments in the country. “We call on the
government on a strong voice to disagree with their baseless decisions because
they do not want peace to reign in the country especially between farmers and
herders. Government brought this programe, NLTP in order to bring end to the
lingering crises between farmers and herdsmen and also to modernize and boost
the livestock industry to a higher yield, but to our greatest surprise the
anti-peace group are rejecting the program.
“We condemn
their decision on a strong voice, enough is enough. They are not helping
matters to settle the crises of this country. We therefore, welcome this
programme (NLTP) by federal government and ask that they go ahead to implement
it, as this programme will focus on modernizing livestock production through
modern dairy and meat processing industry; also the programme would provide
mechanism for peaceful co-existence and reconciliation between farmers and
herders.”
