Amid the country’s raging violence due to herders and farmers clashes in different parts of the country, the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN), the herders give conditions to the government to stop these incessant clashes.
The herders also pledged their support to the government and any government policy that seeks to bring an end to these clashes between them and farmers in the country.

The herders in the Southeast zone have said that they support any policy that would end these clashes, as long as the approach would be beneficial to both parties.
The herders give conditions for peace, including training of the Fulani herdsmen on mechanized grazing, provision of land for ranching in the 36 states and the FCT, and consistent town hall meetings between government, the herdsmen and the farmers in the affected areas.
The group maintains that these steps, if well implemented, will put paid to the scourge of the clashes in the country and help keep the peace that the people so crave.
