The chairman explained that the majority of herders have no bank account where they can easily access funds when in need.

According to him, whenever herdsmen take their livestock to the market for sale, transportation fare take the larger part of the money.

The Fulani leader expressed worry over the high cost of food items in the market.

He appealed to the government to release food items from the nation’s reserve and sell at a subsidized rate to ordinary Nigerians.
