The
Anambra state Agriculture Team headed by the Commissioner for
Agriculture, Mechanization, Processing and Exports, Mr Afam Mbanefo has
praised the owners of Eagle Farms and Cattle
Ranch for their entrepreneurial spirit saying that their efforts will
help in transforming not only agriculture but the economy of the state.
He was speaking during a facility visit to the farm and cattle ranch
located at Umuchu in Aguata local government. At the ranch, cattle are
raised within a confined perimeter and do not need to wander about in
search of pasture.
It
would be recalled that irresponsible cattle grazing by Fulani herdsmen
has led to clashes between the herdsmen and farmers in some parts of
Nigeria. Some confrontations have led to several deaths and destruction
of people’s farmlands and properties with the herdsmen being manipulated
as the aggressors. The most recent case being the killings at Nimbo in
Uzo-Uwani local government area of Enugu state.
