The Federal Government has identified 470 gazetted and legally protected grazing reserves for the rehabilitation and resettlement of pastoralists, as part of efforts to end the era of cattle roaming the streets of Abuja, Lagos and other parts of the country.

The Minister of Livestock Development, Idi Maiha, disclosed this on Arise News, while speaking on the implementation of the National Dairy Policy Framework and plans to transform Nigeria’s livestock sector.
