Speaking in Abuja during the inauguration of the committee, Ganduje said the national livestock transformation plan proposed by the federal government to tackle the problem has not yielded results because of inadequate political leadership.
The 26-member committee is chaired by Attahiru Jega, a former chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission.
The committee is expected to provide adequate publicity before, during and after the event; submit a report on the conference with observations and recommendations for appropriate action; examine the ECOWAS protocol pertaining to the movement of cattle across member countries of the sub-region.
It is also required to draft a blueprint for reform of traditional livestock/cattle rearing and mitigation of associated conflicts in Nigeria, and to undertake any other activities towards the successful planning and organising of the conference in accordance with the terms of reference.
