The Chairman of Nangere Local Government Area of Yobe State, Samaila Musa, has said there are plans to resolve the issues of farmers and herders’ clashes in the area.
Musa said in a bid to tackle the lingering problem, the council had constituted a committee that would rescue the grazing reserve.
He said, “There has been encroachment by the farmers, so the herders cannot pass to the grazing areas, that is the major cause of this conflict in the area. Right now, we have constituted a committee to go round the gazetted areas and ensure that those encroached areas were recovered.
“By doing so, the herders can move freely to wherever, I think that will reduce the tendency of having clashes.”
