The Council of Ulama has said the only solution to the persistent herdsmen-farmer crisis in Nigeria is the introduction of ranch system for the herdsmen instead of the present system of moving their livestock around.
National Secretary of the Council Prof. Muhammad Sadiq Abubakar disclosed this while addressing a press conference in Kaduna.
Prof. Abubakar said, “Nigeria should learn from countries like Canada, Argentina where livestock farming is very high but the animals are kept in Ranches.
“Canada alone supplies the largest quantity of milk to the world market yet their herds are not found roaming about on people’s farm lands.”
He added that the conflict between the farmers and herdsmen dated back to 5000years ago during the reign of King David, therefore people should not attach tribal, religion or political sentiment to it
“The Council of Ulama salutes the courage, the doggedness and the gallantry with which our combined forces are tackling the Boko Haram insurgency.
The Africa Climate Change Fund (ACCF)’s second call for proposals, which closed in August 2017, received unprecedented numbers of proposals from diverse government and non-governmental entities. Proponents of shortlisted concept notes were invited to submit full proposals, which were received in late January. The objective of this call was to solicit innovative and impactful projects that will support direct access to climate finance and small-scale or pilot adaptation initiatives in sectors aligned with the Bank’s High 5 priorities to build resilience of vulnerable communities in Africa.
The ACCF Secretariat’s team of independent experts convened in Abidjan from February 6-9 to assess and score the proposals against the pre-determined assessment criteria. The team met with various Bank departments, funds and initiatives, including gender and civil society, agriculture, renewable energy and the Sustainable Energy Fund for Africa, Africa Water Facility, Jobs for Youth in Africa, Climate for Development Special Fund, and the Africa NDC Hub with the aim of ensuring that the that projects supported by the ACCF are relevant and synergistic with broader Bank initiatives.
The next stage will consist of the approval of a shortlist by the ACCF’s Technical Committee followed by project appraisal and approval of the best proposals. The ACCF has approximately US $5 million available to allocate to approved projects, but is actively engaging with potential donors to mobilize new resources to respond to the significant demand
