Anti-Open Grazing Policy Not Working, Says Nasarawa Governor

• Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu recently signed the anti-open grazing bill into law.

Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule, has faulted the anti-open grazing policy adopted by some state governments in the country.

The governor, who spoke on Monday during an interview on Politics Today, believes the programme is not working.

“We don’t like the current anti-grazing policy, it is not working,” he said during the Channels Television political show. “We are not just going with the crowd about Anti-Grazing law. If you sign anti-grazing law and it is not working, is it worth it?

“One thing all the northern governors have decided, we said that the current method of open grazing is old-fashioned, outdated, and cannot be sustained.”

Governor Sule made the remarks a few hours after his Lagos State counterpart, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, signed the anti-open grazing bill into law.

The action of the Lagos governor was in line with the resolution of the Nigerian Southern Governors Forum that member-states should enact the law prohibiting open grazing to align with the uniform template and aspiration of the governors.
