NEC approves Governors’ forum plans to compensate victims of Herder-Farmer conflict

The Governor of Ogun state, Dapo Abiodun, stated this while briefing newsmen on the outcome of the NEC meeting alongside Atiku Bagudu, his Kebbi state counterpart.

 

NEC had its first physical meeting since March 2020, which was presided over by Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo.

 

Abiodun said the council believes that those who had suffered losses, owing to the farmer-herder conflicts, should have a sense of compensation.

 

The governor said members of the council are committed to protecting residents of their states without discrimination, adding that criminals will be arrested and prosecuted.
