Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum, says the prohibition of herders from grazing openly in some states in the country won’t work until the insecurity situation as well as the socio-political and economic dimensions of the crisis is addressed. He spoke on Wednesday morning during ‘Sunrise Daily’ breakfast show on Channels Television monitored by The PUNCH. This issue of stopping open grazing and others will not work unless we sit down and address all these issues squarely,” he added. Zulum, who said peace is gradually returning to the North-East after over 11 years of Boko Haram war, lamented that the Nigerian Army does not have the lethal weapons, fighter helicopter and numerical strength to fight the aggressors. He said, “The Nigerian Army of last 30 years, of last 40 years is better than the Nigerian Army of now a days.
