Benue State Governor Hyacinth Alia has reaffirmed his commitment to implementing the state’s 2017 Open Grazing Prohibition and Ranches Establishment Law as amended, calling for national legislative reforms to promote livestock ranching.

The governor made the call while declaring open the first Benue Livestock Summit, with the theme “Re-imagining the Future of Livestock Production in Nigeria for Economic Growth and Self-Sufficiency.” He said enacting national legislation would also help end the persistent clashes between farmers and herders across the country.

He expressed gratitude to President Bola Tinubu for establishing the Federal Ministry of Livestock Development, which will bring essential consideration to the livestock community.

The governor highlighted the significance of the livestock sector, which is gradually taken over by crop production in Benue. He pointed out that with the right policies and investments, livestock development could withstand food insecurity, advance wealth generation, and contribute substantially to Nigeria’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

He said, “The summit is associated with the Benue State Development Plan (BSDP) 2025–2034, showcasing the potentiality of the livestock sector to transform the state’s economy and build up self-sufficiency.”

“I have plans to boost livestock development and make it a priority, as you can see through the creation of the Bureau for Livestock Development and Transboundary Animal Disease Control.

This bureau aims to promote effective policies and programmes in the sector.”

 

Governor Alia also announced the strategic adoption of “Pasture as a Fodder Crop” in 2025, which seeks to cultivate improved pastures for regions with a high livestock population.

 

Additionally,  the governor gave a thorough list of the remaining facilities in Benue that could be revitalised through public-private partnerships, including cattle ranches, breeding centres, and agricultural development projects.

 

He added,  “Plans are underway to establish ten feed mills and hatcheries in each senatorial district, alongside agricultural training centres to bridge the gap between extension workers and farmers.”
