Miyetti Allah presents several demands from the Nigerian government. Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, a Fulani socio-cultural association, has called for the establishment of a federal ministry for nomadic affairs to expand educational opportunities and address challenges faced by herders.
The President of the Association, Abdullahi Bello Bodejo, and the National Secretary, Saleh Alhassan, made a phone call yesterday in Abuja after the National Executive's meeting with the President of the Association.
The coalition also called for the immediate designation, disclosure and development of all 415 State Pasture Reserves "as the only strategic first step in addressing the challenges faced by Fulani herders in Nigeria."
This includes the construction of earth dams and solar wells, the construction of veterinary clinics and the development of dairy (milk) collection points.
The association condemned the recent massacre of Fulani herders in Taraba state and urged the inspector general of police to go fishout the perpetrators and ensure that justice is done for the victims' families to prevent people from resorting to self-help.
They said: “The meeting dismissed persistent claims of farmer-herderage conflict as a major setback to instability and insecurity in Nigeria.
Rather, conflicts are being exacerbated by the activities of state-sponsored vigilante groups and tribal hordes, which continue to carry out deliberate extrajudicial killings of Fulani herders. -Grass law.
