Ganduje wants a law to ban movement of herdsmen from North to South

The governor says this will end the incessant farmers-herders crisis in the country.

Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State has called for the enactment of a law that will put an end to the movement of cattle by herdsmen from the northern part of the country to other parts.

Ganduje argued that this would help to address the herdsmen-farmers clashes and cattle rustling in the country.

The governor said this in an interview with journalists after governors elected on the platform of All Progressives Congress (APC) had a lunch with President Muhammadu Buhari on Saturday, January 30, 2021, in Daura Katsina State.

He said, “My advocacy is that we should abolish the transportation or trekking of herdsmen from the Northern part of Nigeria to the Middle Belt and to the Southern part of Nigeria.

“There should be a law that will ban, otherwise we cannot control the conflicts between herdsmen and farmers and cannot control the cattle rustling which is affecting us greatly.”

Ganduje also tasked the new service chiefs to work with state governors in order to succeed.

He said the call became necessary because the governors understand the security needs of their people and the various black spots in their states.

Ganduje’s call for a law to abolish movement of herdsmen and their cattle to other parts of the country days after the incessant herders-farmers crisis caused tension in Ondo and Oyo over quit notices issued to herdsmen.

NYSC Mobilisation & Academic Standards – Raising quality or adding pressure on students?

On September 29, 2025, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu approved a reform linking the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) mobilisation process to the National Policy for the Nigeria Education Repository and Databank (NERD). By invoking Sections 2(4)(4) and 16(1)(C) of the NYSC Act, Tinubu stated that no graduate, whether from a Nigerian or foreign institution, will be mobilised for or exempted from NYSC without proof of compliance with the NERD policy. In a common man's understanding, the Federal Government has announced that Nigerian students must now submit their final-year projects or thesis before they can be mobilised for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC). This policy aims to improve academic standards, ensuring that no student skips essential academic requirements before entering the NYSC scheme . On the surface, this sounds like a laudable idea, but a deeper look reveals a different reality. In many universities, students are allowed to graduate and mobilised for NYSC  ...
