“The initiative will instantly increase cattle milk production, improve their health, and end the practice of herders moving from one community to another with attendant clashes between them and farmers, on the one hand, and on the other hand, farmers and local landholders,” he said.

Ajakaye explained that the emphasis would be on improving the living standards of the herders through providing animal feeds, water, schools for their children, healthcare, and modest dwellings, among others.
