He said: “There are so many activities which we have lined up in the next level, partnering with the federal government to ensure that we do it. One of such interventions would be the flagging off of the Bobi Grazing Reserve.
“As you are aware, the herdsmen/farmers crisis has been on the front burner for a while now. We have invested some money to see that we start off a very functional grazing reserve, hoping that it would reduce some of these conflicts between farmers and herdsmen.”
He added: “He has made promises, with regard to Niger State, especially with regard to the rail line between Minna and Abuja which is very important to the economic activity of the state, and so many other interventions that the federal government, under the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari, has extended to us here in Niger State.”
