The Federal Government says it will reopen the existing grazing reserves to address farmers-herdsmen clashes across the country.

Chief Audu Ogbeh, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, said this while speaking to newsmen on the achievements of President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration in the agriculture sector in three years.

Ogbeh said although some of the 415 gazetted grazing reserves in the country had been encroached on, there was still about three million hectares of land available for cattle grazing reserves.
