Open grazing violators risk three-year jail term, confiscation of cattle – Ogun govt

 The Ogun State Government has reminded cattle herders engaged in open grazing that they risk a three-year jail term and confiscation of cattle, as stipulated in the Animal Grazing Regulation and Cattle Ranch Establishment Law, 2020. The bill was signed into law by Governor Dapo Abiodun in 2021. The state government, in a statement by Hon. Kayode Akinmade, Special Adviser on Media and Strategy to the Governor, decried the continued violation of the law by certain herders in the state, warning that the government would not hesitate to enforce the provisions of the law to the letter. Akinmade, who said the law banning open grazing and prescribing a three-year jail term for violators was passed to address incessant bloody encounters between herders and farmers, added that the state remains fully committed to modern cattle rearing and farming practices to guarantee the safety and security of the people. He said: “The Government of Ogun State has observed cases of obstruction of traffic...

Obi pummels Tinubu over corrupt, reckless borrowing, says debt-to-GDP ratio worst in history

 Peter Obi has raised the alarm that President Bola Tinubu’s government is plunging Nigeria into its highest level of debt-to-GDP ratio in history, with little to show for the debt accumulation. In a statement on Tuesday, Mr. Obi said, “Today, over two years after the present government took over and with all the humongous borrowing, we are still confronted with negative reports of worsening poverty with about 133 million (63%) Nigerians classified as multi-dimensionally poor, increasing unemployment and disheartening news like 652 children dead as the malnutrition crisis worsens in Northern Nigeria. “As our GDP before rebasing was about N269.2 trillion (about $180 billion), the government has borrowed the equivalent of nearly 70% of our previous GDP. Even after the rebasing, which pushed our GDP to about N372.8 trillion (about $243.7 billion), the government would have borrowed about 50.16 % of the new GDP (with the approved loans), the highest debt-to-GDP ratio in our history as ...

 Adedayo Akinwale in Abuja The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has threatened mass protest over harassment and activities of members of Dragon Squared, a  police unit that has been terrorising residents of Ogun State, particularly students. It said the squad, apart from arresting and detaining Ogun residents who are majorly youths and students, has been acting as security backing to suspected land grabbers who invaded part of Ita Oshin and Oke Ata communities in Abeokuta, to unleash mayhem and wreak havoc. To this end, the student body called on the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, to urgently intervene and rein in the terrors of the squad.
