The new leader of the miyetti Allah, explained the reasons for the oder he wants to give regarding selling of meat in Nigeria.
In his last statement, he pointed out that the members of the cattle breeders in Nigeria may not sell meat in entire South this coming Christmas or possibly nationwide, depending on the adjustment of policy by the federal government.
This is because there has been a very low purchase of cow meat in that region especially in Enugu State, which we believed to have resulted from our previous decisions to shut down meat markets in Enugu in 2019 for over 4 months.
Another problem is the cost of transportation in transporting cows from North to South, which in turn will not bring out mass purchase.
That is not how to do business, as the igbos are not appreciating our efforts to make meat available in Nigeria.
Apart from all these, the entire South East Governors apart from imo state has deliberately refused to give us part of their lands to rear our cattle and this has resulted to very low yield of cow products since then and most times our cattle die in starvation here in the north because of hot weather.
They will only understand our value during their Christmas celebration and other festivity period when everyone will want to eat meat. At least this decision will result to big change and cooperation by the people living in south.
Not just entire South East/ sout-south alone and if possible Nigeria entirely will not see meat until the Nigerian government agree to enforce the new order that all lands belongs to the government and not state Governors or mere humans.
