He said, “Frankly speaking, whatever challenge we are having is something we can easily sort if we are really ready. It is a very simple issue. The North is blessed with a large landmass. And we have a number of dams. Let’s get to those areas. The government can procure those areas and use them.”

He said that Nigerian leaders have to look at these things decisively, and be passionate about it. He said if we do that, he can bet with anyone that the issue of farmers-herders clash will stop immediately in the country. CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
