Following President Muhammadu Buhari’s insistence on grazing routes reclamation across the country, some federal government officials have revealed that some federal structures were already constructed on them.
Specifically, a tertiary institution in the Federal Capital Territory- The University of Abuja – is said to be one of such structures.
Punch Newspaper reports that a senior official at the presidency, who pleaded to be anonymous due to the sensitive nature of the matter, disclosed this.
Recall that the Buhari administration had insisted that tracing and reclaiming the grazing routes was the only way to put an end to the incessant clashes between nomadic herdsmen and farmers across the country.

The source was quoted to have said:
“I used to see monuments on the stock routes and these routes have been encroached on for a long time. So, retracing them will unearth a lot of things. In many states, farmers are farming on the stock routes.”
Going further, the official disclosed that despite the massive level of encroachment on them, it is still possible to retrace the routes.
