Ekiti State Government Calls on Marshals to Enforce Grazing Law

The Ekiti State Government has called on the State Marshals to enforce the Grazing Law in the state. The law, which was enacted in 2018, aims to regulate the activities of herdsmen and prevent conflicts between them and farmers.

According to the Commissioner for Agriculture, Dr. Olabode Adetoyi, the government is concerned about the increasing cases of clashes between herdsmen and farmers, which have resulted in loss of lives and property. He stated that the Grazing Law is designed to promote peaceful coexistence between the two groups and ensure that the state's agricultural sector continues to thrive.

The Commissioner urged the State Marshals to be proactive in enforcing the law, which includes the establishment of grazing reserves and the regulation of the movement of cattle. He also called on the public to report any violation of the law to the authorities.

The Ekiti State Government's decision to enforce the Grazing Law is seen as a step towards addressing the security challenges facing the state and promoting peace and stability in the agricultural sector.
