Sheikh Gumi To FG: Create Ministry For Herdsmen Just Like You Did For Niger Delta
Islamic cleric, Sheikh Gumi has called for the establishment of the Ministry of Nomadic Affairs to address the grievances of bandits and herders terrorising the country.
Mr Gumi made the call at the Pastoralists and Fulbe Security Conference on Wednesday, in Abuja with the theme “Exploring the contemporary security challenges facing pastoralists and Fulbe in Nigeria”.
The event was jointly organised by Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) and Northern Consensus Movement (NCM).

The cleric, in a chat with reporters, said that the Fulani herders and other aggrieved groups should be accorded the same treatment given to the Niger Delta militants.
He said: “Government should focus more attention on these people because they always say that they are aggrieved.”
“What I expect from the government is nothing less than what it did, when the Niger Delta youth were vandalizing the economy.”
