Mohammed Lawal Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi state has ordered the immediate suspension of the enforcement of the state’s livestock right-of-way policy following concerns over the method and timing of its implementation. The governor gave the directive Tuesday during a stakeholders’ meeting at the Government House, Bauchi, convened to address concerns surrounding the enforcement of the executive order and the state law providing designated right-of-way for livestock and other road users. Governor Bala stated that the policy was introduced to reduce clashes between crop farmers and livestock farmers, particularly during the farming season. He said the measure, which includes provision for cattle routes, was inspired by similar initiatives in other states and was designed as a common solution to challenges affecting both crop and livestock farmers. The governor expressed concern over the use of chemicals in clearing livestock routes, warning that such methods could harm animals and undermine the objective of the policy. He said the enforcement at the law was poorly timed, as farmers were approaching the harvest period and could suffer losses from the application of chemicals on their farms. Governor Bala accepted responsibility for the shortcomings in the implementation, particularly the inadequate sensitisation of stakeholders before enforcement began and therefore faulted the Ministry of Agriculture and the Bauchi State Agricultural Development Programme (BASDP) for failing to effectively communicate the policy to farmers and livestock owners.
