The Minister of Livestock Development, Dr. Idi Mukhtar Maiha, has performed the foundation stone laying of the new livestock service centre in Sokoto, reaffirming the Federal Government’s commitment to unlocking Nigeria’s livestock potential for sustainable peace and development.
Governor Ahmed Aliyu stated that the Centre is designed to address livestock losses, rural poverty and insecurity linked to unregulated livestock practices.
The Governor noted that the Facility will introduce modern feedlots, support pasture development and ease the pressures of open grazing on Farmlands.
National Coordinator, L-PRES, Dr. Sanusi Abubakar, assured full support from the National Coordination Office to guarantee the project’s successful implementation.
Similar projects are being executed in 20 participating States nationwide, expected to enhance food security, improve animal health and strengthen the Nation’s economy.
