President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday revealed the establishment of a new Ministry of Livestock Development during the inauguration of the Renewed Hope Livestock Reform Implementation Committee at the Council Chambers of the State House in Abuja.
While a substantive Minister is yet to be named, the ceremony saw the attendance of key figures including Vice President Kashim Shettima, Secretary to the Government of the Federation Senator George Akume, and the Chief of Staff to the President Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, among other cabinet members.
This move follows President Tinubu's approval on September 15, 2023, to form a Presidential Committee focused on reforming the livestock industry and resolving the long-standing conflicts between herders and farmers in the country. The committee's creation was prompted by a report from the National Conference on Livestock Reforms and Mitigation of Associated Conflicts in Nigeria.
