KACRAN Commends Tinubu’s Commitment to Promoting Livestock and Its Value Chains
By: Michael Mike
The Kulen Allah Cattle Rearers Association of Nigeria (KACRAN) has an expressed profound appreciation to President Bola Tinubu for his sincere and dedicated efforts in advancing the livestock sector and its associated value chains.
The association in a statement signed on Friday by its National President, Hon. Khalil Bello said: “Historically, the livestock sector in Nigeria has faced neglect, largely due to the focus on oil revenues since the end of the first republic. Despite past promises from previous administrations, no substantial measures were implemented to address this imbalance between arable and livestock farming.
“Under President Tinubu’s leadership, significant strides have been made. His administration’s Renewed Hope agenda has prioritized the livestock sector, culminating in the creation of the Ministry of Livestock Development. This is a historic first for Nigeria, underscoring the sector’s vital role in enhancing the nation’s GDP, improving nutritional food security, and generating employment for millions.”
Bello added that: “KACRAN celebrates this development and congratulates President Tinubu for recognizing the sector’s potential. The establishment of the Ministry of Livestock Development marks a pivotal moment, acknowledging the sector’s contribution to employing over 30% of Nigeria’s rural population and boosting the economy.
“We assure President Tinubu that KACRAN, as a key stakeholder, will collaborate closely with the Ministry, its officials, and other stakeholders to achieve the objectives set forth. This synergy is expected to bring significant benefits to Nigeria and its neighboring states.
“We also commend President Tinubu for his compassion and vision in forming the Presidential Livestock Reforms Implementation Committee, which he personally leads. This committee, alongside the Ministry, is poised to address and resolve the challenges faced by Nigeria’s pastoralists.
“KACRAN extends its gratitude to Alhaji Dr. Umar Abdullahi Ganduje, former Governor of Kano State and National Chairman of the APC, for his pivotal role in the formation of the committee. We also recognize Professor Attahiru Muhammadu Jega and the committee members for their dedicated contributions.
“Additionally, we appreciate the Directorate of Animal Husbandry Services, led by Mrs. Winnie Lai Solarin, for their unwavering support throughout the establishment of the Ministry.
“We are optimistic that the Presidential Livestock Reforms Implementation Committee will continue to serve as an advisory body to the Ministry, offering strategic insights to resolve farmer-herder conflicts and promote the livestock sector.”
He assured the President of KACRAN’s support in achieving the Ministry’s goals, including enhancing food security, creating jobs, and attracting both local and international investment in the livestock industry.
Bello also extend gratitude to Senator Musa Mustapha, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Livestock, for his commitment to supporting these initiatives.

Nigerian government has condemned the attempted military takeover of government in neighbouring Benin Republic.
A statement by the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Kimiebi Ebienfa read: “The Government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria has received with grave concern and unequivocally condemns in the strongest possible terms the attempted forcible seizure of power in our friendly neighbour and brotherly nation, the Republic of Benin in the early hours of Sunday 7th December, 2025.
“This act of destabilization represents a direct assault on democracy, constitutional order, and the collective will of the Beninese people, who have consistently demonstrated their commitment to peaceful political transitions.
“Nigeria stands in firm solidarity with the Government and people of the Republic of Benin, and applauds the swift action taken by Beninese authorities to protect its legitimate institutions and preserve the peace.”
“We commend the courage and professionalism of the Beninese security forces in defending the constitutional order and guaranteeing the safety of the President. Their dedication ensured that the unfortunate attempt to subvert democracy was decisively repelled,” the statement added.
The statement further read: “Nigeria reiterates its strong commitment to the principles of democracy, good governance, and the rule of law as fundamental pillars for peace, development and regional stability. Unconstitutional changes of government are an unacceptable and retrogressive step that threatens the hard-earned democratic gains and socio-economic progress of our sub-region.
“As a steadfast partner within the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and the African Union, Nigeria calls on all member states and the international community to unite in condemning this act and in reaffirming our shared commitment to the African Union’s Charter on Democracy, Elections and Governance, and the ECOWAS Protocol on Democracy and Good Governance.
“We urge all parties in the Republic of Benin to remain calm, uphold the rule of law, and continue to channel any political discourse through peaceful, constitutional, and democratic means.
“The Federal Government of Nigeria reassures the Government of the Republic of Benin of its full support and continued cooperation as we work together, as brothers and partners, to deepen democracy and ensure lasting peace and prosperity for our peoples and the entire West African region.”
