Kano’s Bagwai LG Bans Farming in Grazing Reserves to Curb Land Disputes In a decisive move to address escalating tensions between farmers and herders, the Bagwai Local Government Council in Kano State has announced an immediate ban on all farming activities within designated cattle grazing reserves.  The announcement was made by the acting chairman of the council, Alhaji Haruna Garba Sarkin Biro, during a stakeholder meeting at the district head’s office in Bagwai. He emphasized that grazing reserves are strictly for herders and not to be used for farming, aligning with the directive of the Kano State Governor, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, aimed at addressing illegal grazing and land encroachment across the state.  To ensure compliance, individuals seeking access to these areas must present valid documentation for verification at designated government centers annually. Local authorities have been tasked with enforcing the ban to maintain order and prevent further disputes.  Leaders from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in Bagwai, including Alhaji Salisu Garba Bagwai and Alhaji Masa’ud Badau, have expressed support for the initiative, stating that it will help resolve long-standing disputes over grazing areas and promote peace in the region.  #KanoState #BagwaiLG #GrazingReserves #FarmingBan #HerdersAndFarmers
