The Federal Capital Territory Minister, Malam Muhammad Bello, has met with members of the Miyatti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria, during which he directed them to stop cattle grazing in Abuja metropolis.
The minister ordered the herdsmen to move their cattle out of the FCT, “because there is no way such animals can co-habit with the residents,” a statement on Monday in Abuja, by the Chief Press Secretary to the minister, Muhammad Sule, said.
Bello emphasized that even for safety reasons, cattle should not roam on the streets and highways, explaining that in a modern city, animals and vehicles cannot move together on the roads because this could cause accidents.
