Renewed Hope: KACRAN lauds Tinubu for attention on livestock sector

The Kulen Allah Cattle Rearers Association of Nigeria (KACRAN) has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his efforts in advancing the livestock sector and its associated value chains in the country.

In a press statement issued by its national president, Khalil Mohd Bello, said “historically, the livestock sector in Nigeria has faced neglect, largely due to the focus on oil revenues since the end of the first republic.”

He stated that under President Tinubu’s leadership, significant strides have been made.

His administration’s renewed hope agenda has prioritized the livestock sector, culminating in the creation of the Ministry of Livestock Development.

The statement read apart, “This is a historic first for Nigeria, underscoring the sector’s vital role in enhancing the nation’s GDP, improving nutritional food security,and generating employment for millions.

“We assure President Tinubu that KACRAN, as a key stakeholder, will collaborate closely with the Ministry, its officials, and other stakeholders to achieve the objectives set forth.This synergy is expected to bring significant benefits to Nigeria and its neighboring states.

“We are optimistic that the Presidential Livestock Reforms Implementation Committee will continue to serve as an advisory body to the Ministry, offering strategic insights to resolve farmer-herder conflicts and promote the livestock sector”.
