JUST IN: Lagos, Osun, Ondo & Others Impose Ban On Open Grazing Of Cattles Across The Regions

Governors of all six states in the south west have imposed a ban on open grazing of cattle across the region.

The decision was taken at a security stakeholders' meeting in Ondo State on Monday, January 25, 2021.

Conflict between herders and farmers caused by open grazing has in the past forced Oyo and Ekiti to create anti open grazing laws in the past, but Monday's announcement means they're also now banned in Ogun, Ondo, Osun, and Lagos.

Oyo State governor, Seyi Makinde, said after the meeting that the ban will be implemented according to the law.

"We will continue to support our security agencies to do their duties," he said.

Monday's decision is the latest development over a controversy that erupted last week after Ondo State governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, ordered herders out of the state's forest reserves due to security concerns.
