The Senator representing Kogi West Senatorial District, Smart Adeyemi, has said the fastest way to end farmers-herders clashes is to encourage more young Nigerians, to make a career in agriculture.

“This is because in agriculture lies the strength of our currency as a nation. It is through agriculture that we could get millions of our graduates into farming, take them off the streets and make them productive.

“There are quite a number of cash crops that could be exported but we have not really encouraged it. When we have enough universities of Agriculture, we would have young men who would go into agriculture and by extension, some of them could set up cattle ranches so that they could complement the beef production and its exportation.

“It will end farmers-herders clashes by producing more young graduates who would know the technologies that are required to set up a modern cattle ranching.” Adeyemi said the proposed university which will take off from the Federal College of Agriculture in Kabba, has the structure and academic capacity to take off by September this year if signed into law by the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari
