KANO State governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has explained why he kicked against open grazing in favour of developing a ranching system, where herdsmen can practise animal husbandry in a modern way. Governor Ganduje argued that children of herders, who moved along with herders, will not have qualitative and sound education, which he said, is not good for them. Ganduje disclosed this, while speaking with journalists in Kano, noting that the “greatest crime in migrating from North to South for grazing is lack of education for the children. Will the education system follow them along the routes from the North to the Central and the Southern parts of this country? Can any educational system agree with that?”According to him, one of the issues that brought the dichotomy between the Northern and Southern governors was the issue of open grazing.
