Indications have it that the Southern Governors’ Forum has directed state houses of assembly in the South to enact law backing the ban on open grazing.
The
PUNCH reported that governors of the Southern region met in
Asaba, the Delta State capital on Tuesday during which they came up with the
ban on open grazing.
The Chairman of South-South
Governors’ Forum and Governor of Delta State, Ifeanyi Okowa, said that every
state would enact its law to enforce the ban.
The governor, who spoke through
the State Commissioner for Information, Mr. Charles Aniagwu, stated this on
Wednesday in an interview with The PUNCH in
Asaba.
He said, “Every state will put
in place a law that will be used to prosecute anybody that goes against the
ban. The governors of the south have agreed with their people that the right
thing to do is to ban open grazing.”
