Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, has accused opponents of the resolution by Southern Governors to ban open grazing as harbouring a hidden agenda.
Ortom said this while speaking during the ‘Media Week and Communications Day 2021’, organised by the Catholic Diocese of Makurdi, at Holy Ghost Parish Hall, Makurdi, on Thursday.
He commended his colleagues from Southern Nigeria for towing the right path towards addressing insecurity in the country.
The governor said, “Open grazing is no longer feasible in the country due to development and population growth.”
Ortom noted that it will be difficult for Nigeria to attain its full potential without the safety of lives and property of its citizens.
