JUST IN: PRES. TINUBU CREATES MINISTRY OF LIVESTOCK DEVELOPMENT
On Tuesday, President Bola Tinubu announced the creation of the Federal Ministry of Livestock Development.
At the Presidential Villa in Abuja, during the Renewed Hope Livestock Reform Implementation Committee’s inaugural meeting, the President made the announcement.
However, President Tinubu refrained from mentioning the Minister’s name for the new ministry since it is anticipated that he will need to send the name to the Senate for verification if the candidate is fresh.
Vice President Kashim Shettima, Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) Senator George Akume, and President Femi Gbajabiamila’s chief of staff were among the cabinet members present at the Inauguration.
Recall that President Tinubu on 15th September 2023, approved the establishment of the Presidential Committee dedicated to the reform of the livestock industry and the provision of long-term solutions to recurring clashes between herders and farmers in the country.
The setting up of the committee was a sequel to the submission of a report from the National Conference on Livestock Reforms and Mitigation of Associated Conflicts in Nigeria.
