NIGER State government has expressed the determination to organise a ‘Road Show’ which would bring together all investors and stakeholders interested in the development of the multi-million dollars Bobi Grazing Reserve with the view to present a position paper on the progress level and takeoff of the project among others.
Governor Abubakar Sani Bello, who disclosed this during his visit to the Reserve on Monday alongside the State Executive Council members, explained that the state government was poised at inviting its partners on the Ruga settlement Programme to sit and discuss statistics and other economic parameters that would ensure or guarantee a win-win situation for all.
He stated further that substantial amount of resources had been expended in the form of investment by the state government in the development of the reserve and that it can even begin to generate money from the over 300 hectares of Pastures already available for sale.
“The Grazing Reserve has taken off. We can start making money from the pastures. As you can see, we have more than enough pasture and part of the scheme is that excess Pastures can be sold to other parts of the country”, he said.
The governor disclosed further that the crossbreeding programme had commenced and that strict veterinary practice and traceability was being observed to ensure that any Cattle that don’t pass the minimum health standard is isolated and taken away from the rest.
Governor Sani Bello said: “when the project becomes fully operational, a Tax system will be introduced, not only to raise revenue profile of the state but for security purposes as well”.
