Ondo State Governor Rotimi Akeredolu said his state would reject funding to trace grazing routes.
The governor stated this on Friday during an interview.
“Ondo State has not received any money. But if money is being given out to trace grazing routes, you can be sure that Ondo State will not receive that,” he said.
“There is no grazing route anywhere; we are not going to allow that to happen. We have seen modern animal husbandry. That is what should be our concern now. We are not to allow routes; routes to where?”
Grazing In The Open?
Ondo, the Sunshine State, is one of the states that have signed the anti-grazing bill into law.
On August 31, Governor Akeredolu assented to the bill after it was earlier passed by the Ondo State House of Assembly.
He explained that the development is in line with the resolution of the Southern Governors’ Forum at its meeting in Lagos where September 1 was set as the deadline for members to enact the anti-open grazing law.
