Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki has on Tuesday, backtracked on his earlier position on provision of land for herders in the state.

It could be recalled how Mr Obaseki, in 2019, during the now suspended controversial RUGA programme of the federal government, was among the governors who rejected the idea of the state government providing land for herders to build a settlement and grazing area for their cattle.

However,  Obaseki, reversed his decision on Tuesday, saying Edo State would create a grazing area for herders to curb crises with farmers.

The governor said this while on a fact-finding tour to Udo, Ovia South West Local Government Area of the state to assess the impact of the herders-farmers conflict in the state.

“We will create an area where the cattle will go regularly to eat, as they must not go to peoples’ farms. This will stop cattle from moving around the community, including in farmlands,” a statement by Crusoe Osagie, the governor’s spokesperson, quoted Mr Obaseki as saying so at a town hall meeting during the tour.
