The Federal Government says it has started the process of animal census, traceability & identification and explained that the exercise will help in tackling issues of cattle rustling as well as help get accurate data on livestock.

Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, Dr. Mohammed Bello Umar, who disclosed this at the end of the Fourth Global Dairy Congress Africa at the weekend in Abuja, assured participants of government’s willingness to implement useful suggestions from the summit.

Represented by the Director, Animal Husbandry Services, Bright Wategire, he said: “We will continue to intervene in those areas that are important to us. And, we will try as much as possible to improve on artificial intelligence and sustain the issue of pasture production all year round.

It is a critical area because, without pasture, animals will not grow. We have started something in animal identification and traceability system. We are aware of the advanced stages that are available.

“Aside helping us reduce issues of cattle rustling, It will help us to get reliable data of animals that we have in this country. It helps improve trade relationship with other countries.“The advantages are enormous; we are at the tail end of concluding our national dairy and breeding policy.”

Regardless, Chairman of the congress, Dr. Ayok Celestine, and the participants, unanimously urged government, to establish effective price stability mechanism to attract and protect investment in dairy farming they and also, called for robust intervention in addressing infrastructure deficits militating against the sub sector.

Dr. Celestine suggested an upgrade of genetic potential of indigenous dairy breeds through crossbreeding and selection in order to enhance productivity and profitability of emerging dairy ventures in Africa.

He insisted that livestock extension services and innovation platforms should be mainstreamed to enhance farmers’ capacity and competence in dairy production processing.

“The simulate functional systems in other climes should be studied to speed up value chain progress and profitability, while allied institutions to boost availability and quality of services and input should be strengthened.”


He expressed concern over the lack of effective waste recycling systems in African countries, and suggested refrain in the choice of dairy packaging; to avoid potential environmental consequences.

Nigeria last had a census in 2006 yet the present govt dont deemed it fit to get another one done to get near accurate demographic data for national planning & development.

All the useless Buhari govt cares for is animal/cattle husbandry.From;
-Importing grass for cattle from Brazil,
-Forceful threat of people submitting their ancestral lands for cattle colony,
-Making silly excuses for the satanic atrocities of these marauding & killer herdsmen.
-Establishment of Radio Fulani and then to the present vexed....
-Fulanization agenda/RUGA issue.

Abeg who did Nigeria offend with its present crop of leaders?

What more can we hear again?

That zoo is such a shithole.

truely this our presido value cow more than the citizens,

assuming cows feed on flesh, he can slaughter humans and feed them to the cows.

Zoo president brought to you by sophiscated m.

Human census was last conducted in Nigeria In 2006.

I don't blame him...

I blame people that voted him.

Whatever he does tells on the iQ of those that voted him this second tenure

Nigeria who did this to us


Nigeria why

The animal census is to prevent cattle rustling...which is a major bone of contention between Fulani herdsmen and farmers...

If it reduces violence, it is a good idea.

I am jst short of words.. The North is a huge set back to this nation. Animal census and identification ? How wud this develop this nation ?

The first 8 COMMENTS are being made by people who don't seem to read the article.

One thing that causes violence between Fulanis and farmers is that Fulanis often claim their cows were stolen or eaten.

With the census, not only would we know the ACTUAL number of cows in this country, but possibly be able to trace every cow that enters in this country. This would not only reduce rustling, but also prevent cows from being stolen, and also ensure speedy prosecution of cattle rustlers.

And end violence in many parts of the country, and importantly end the whole crisis.

I don't Fulani violence, or APC, or Buhari. I just like a good idea when I see one.

Also there is this

Represented by the Director, Animal Husbandry Services, Bright Wategire, he said: “We will continue to intervene in those areas that are important to us. And, we will try as much as possible to improve on artificial intelligence and sustain the issue of pasture production all year round.

In other words, there is also a planning component to it.

Thing is, time we started planning our agricultural practice in this country.

N.B: If you quote me to insult me, I will report you to the s. No excuses.

Who do us this kind thing na
Animal census

the killings of innocent souls and the speaking of their blood.

Government for the cows.
So now cows will start receiving birth cert and death cert.
The government doesn't even have proper documentation of Nigerians.

Animal don turn to human being ofa gbo yo. Song by Fela Anikulapo Kuti

You can't conduct census without counting papa and mama children, everyone is counted!

So I hope they visit Aso Rock and the National Assembly. That's where the 'real animal'
and multiplying factor of animals resides and work in.

Am jst short of words..The north is a huge set back to the progress of this nation

The annoying thing is that the reasons the govt gives for some of the actions and decisions being taken makes sense to them, until they come public with it. When was the last time we had a tangible censors of Nigerians? They are focusing on cows now.
Just wait until the exercise is completed and you hear how much they spent in counting cows and tracking them. Thieves always looking for more ways to enrichment.

Where are the APC e-warriors

So animal is more important to this Man??

Na wa o

Cows are more important than Nigerian. Speed train from Abuja to Kaduna was also reduced because of cows hahaha.

You guys voted for him.

Deal with it and stop complaining.

The people coming here to blame Buhari are same people who voted him in and I keep asking myself. How could a Nigerian with his senses vote a man who said $1 will be made #1 and instead the money skyrockets into 360#. And you still voted for him

We need to take back our country from this man.

We supposed to conduct census every 10 years according to international standards since the last one was conducted in 2006 no other one not even a talk of it rather we hear different Nigeria population figures everyday wondering how it was arrived at but now is animal census ooh I forgot animal get level people 4 9ja.
