BREAKING: Imo Govt Gives Herders July 24 Deadline To End Open Grazing

The Imo State Government has issued a directive to herders across the state to end open grazing on or before July 24, 2025, as part of efforts to promote peaceful coexistence and safeguard public order.

The announcement was made by the Commissioner for Livestock Development, Dr. Anthony Mgbeahurike, during a stakeholdersโ€™ meeting with cattle breeders and herders held in Owerri.

Dr. Mgbeahurike emphasized the governmentโ€™s commitment to preserving social and economic stability while ensuring harmonious relations between farmers and herders.

โ€œThe government has provided critical support in the past, including free cattle vaccination against anthrax,โ€ he stated. โ€œHowever, we can no longer tolerate unchecked roaming of livestock which disrupts urban life and causes tension.โ€
