Samuel Ortom Disclose Not Embracing Cattle Colonies in His Administration

Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, has said his administration has not embraced cattle colonies or grazing reserves as part of efforts to end the herder/farmer crisis in the state.

A statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Nathaniel Ikyur, accused a presidential aide, Lauretta Onochie, of giving a false narrative on his stand on the implementation of the National Livestock Transformation Plan, NLTP.

The statement noted that the state government only agreed to key into the NLTP because it was approved by the National Economic Council, adding that the state will only implement aspects of the plan that suits its peculiarities.
