The Enugu State House of Assembly, on Thursday, passed the
open grazing prohibition bill into law.
The bill scaled through the third
reading after a clause by clause consideration.
The passage came in line with the September 1 deadline
issued by the Southern Governors for an end to open rearing of cattle.
The State Assembly earlier in the week held a public hearing
on the bill, during which the umbrella body of Fulani herdsmen, the Miyetti
Allah had asked for one month extension to enable them make input on the bill.
However, at plenary on Thursday the bill was passed into law
and would now be sent to Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi for his assent.
More to come…
