Ekiti State Government has urged herders operating within the state to register under a government agency for proper identification.
The Coordinator of the State Anti-Grazing Task Force Marshals, Mr. Sola Durodola, said that this new cause of action is aimed at preventing frequent clash between herders and farmers in the state.
He noted that the registration will help the government to keep track of any act of criminality carried out by herders in any part of the state.
Mr. Durodola noted that the herdsmen are required to provide their necessary bio-data by filling forms which the government will generate for all registered herder.
“Government will take up its responsibility to ensure the security of lives and property and this will assist us to differentiate law abiding herdsmen from criminals.
“Modality for the registration of herdsmen will soon be out and we want every stakeholder to cooperate with the government”. He said.
