The Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) has expressed the association’s dissatisfaction with the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration for allegedly abandoning them despite supporting its re-election bid in 2019.
It also said expressed worry that livestock business was not catered for in the N500billion agronomy budget of the federal government in the last seven years.
MACBAN National President Baba-Othman Ngelzarma said this Saturday night at a media parley in Abuja.
And acknowledging the cattle rearers’ position, Senate President Ahmad Ibrahim Lawan assured government would do something to ensure the livestock business is given the right attention.
“I am not a Fulani in any way. I don’t have any Fulani blood but I think our livestock rearers have not received a fair deal all through our history,” Lawan had said.
