Cattle Ranching: A Cost-Effective Strategy to Tackle Banditry
I believe roaming herds fuel clashes between Fulani herders and farmers. Modern ranching can end these conflicts by keeping cattle in dedicated facilities. A ranch with 100 heads can yield over ₦20 million per year after feed, salaries and veterinary costs. Investors could list shares on the stock exchange and hire Brazilian experts. Brazil boasts more cattle than people and has no recurrent herder-farmer clashes. Every level of government should set up at least one ranch to address banditry, now Nigeria’s biggest security challenge. Individuals with means can earn profits while serving the nation. Even starting with 10 or 20 heads can make a difference.
