The meeting was attended by National Leadership of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association
Recall that Sanusi who is a patron of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders recently said there has not been enough investment in cattle rearing in Nigeria.
The emir while reacting to killings by herdsmen in parts of the country noted that if government and other stakeholders had taken cattle rearing seriously by building ranches and grazing reserves for herdsmen, the nation would have gained more.
