Senators endorse bill to create database for cows
A bill seeking to create a database for cows is currently being considered on the floor of the senate. The bill for an Act to ‘establish national livestock and management (protection, control and management etc) bureau’ is being sponsored by Bima Enagi (APC, Niger South) and it scaled a second reading on Tuesday April 20.
The legislation is aimed at solving the challenge of animal identification and management by establishing the National Livestock Bureau for the purpose of livestock identification, traceability, registration, cattle rustling control and livestock disease control.
Enagi who stated that Nigeria has been unable to participate in the export of meat and other dietary product due to the absence of a management system, said the bill intends to indicate ownership and prevent rustling as well as collate genetic information on animals, and improve the ability to trace animals.
I hope this thing will work for the betterment of the nation
We have heard you and I hope it shall be well
I pray that the establishment of the agency solve the issue of famers herders
We ought not to depend on export all the time, we need to start our import in order to bost the economy of the country
that is a good initiatives…….
