MACABAN Expresses Surprise over S’East Governors’ Rejection of Ranching

The South East chapter of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) says it is surprised by the announcement of the South-east governors that it would not donate land for ranching.

The South-east governors had last weekend in Enugu, after its meeting, agreed that no part of the zone would be ceded to cattle breeders for ranching.

MACBAN said its surprise stems from the existing cordial relationship between the people of the South-east and themselves, which it said does not warrant such outright rejection.

A chat with the leader of the group, Alhaji Gidado Siddiki, by THISDAY in Awka, Anambra State, conveyed its surprise.
