On 9th July 2024, Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu formed the Presidential Livestock Reforms Implementation Committee, led by himself and Professor Attahiru Muhammadu Jega, with 23 experts, to reform the Nigerian livestock sector, valued at N33 trillion but contributing less than 3% to the country's GDP. The committee was tasked with 16 Terms of Reference (ToRs) to modernize the sector and submit an 'Inception Report' outlining the challenges the sector faces, such as low breed quality, high feed costs, and inadequate veterinary services, as well as conflicts between crop farmers and herders. The report proposed solutions like breed improvement, infrastructure development, and policy harmonization, and the establishment of the Federal Ministry of Livestock Development (FMLD) and eight new Livestock Research Institutes to boost the sector. The FMLD's role includes formulating and implementing livestock development policies, managing grazing reserves, and mitigating conflicts. The committee's Inception Report emphasizes the potential for job creation, food security, and economic growth in the livestock sector, particularly through commercialization and self-sufficiency in food production.
