He urged the group to support the government in the fight against crimes in the state.
Badaru assured the Miyetti Allah that his administration would continue to provide qualitative education to all citizens of the state, including nomads.
He said: “As a result of our recent working tour to The Netherlands, plans are underway to expand the existing cattle routes and grazing reserves which will provide enough all-year grass for nomads.
