The Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) has called for the registration of herdsmen in the South-East, stressing that it would address conflicts with farmers in the region, IgbereTV reports
The MACBAN Chairman in the region, Alhaji Gidado Siddiki, made the call in a chat with journalists on Saturday in Enugu.
He stressed that some herdsmen who are not members of cattle-breeders associations, ply their trade in the zone and stall negotiations between the association and the government.
Siddiki, therefore, urged governors of states in the South-East to empower MACBAN to regulate cattle business in the zone
