Controversial Islamic scholar, Sheikh Abubakar Gumi has reiterated his call for the federal government to establish a ministry of nomadic affairs.

According to Gumi, this will help address the grievances of the herdsmen.

The controversial clergy made the call on Wednesday while speaking at the ‘Pastoralists and Fulbe Security Conference’ in Abuja.

Daily Report Nigeria gathered that the event was put together by the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN), as well as the northern consensus movement (NCM).

Sheikh Gumi premised his call for the creation of ministry of nomadic affairs to the numerous challenges faced by cattle breeders.

He argued that if the government could establish a ministry of Niger Delta Affairs when militants launched attacks on oil installations and communities, the herdsmen should be treated the same way.

He said: “Government should focus more attention on these people because they always say that they are aggrieved.

“What I expect from the government is nothing less than what it did, when the Niger Delta youths were vandalising the economy.

“These people are also disturbing the Nigerian agriculture which is the backbone of national economy.

“I think the government needs to be more proactive. They need attention. The least they need is the ministry of nomadic affairs that will look into their affairs.”
