Kwara State NSCDC Commandant Hails Resolution of Farmer-Herder Clashes

Date: 2024-11-11

The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has announced that it has successfully resolved 196 clashes between farmers and herders in Kwara State over the past year, as reported by Daily Trust.

According to the state commandant, Dr Umar Muhammed, the Agro Rangers Unit of the command handled the assignment, which is expected to boost food security and improve farmers' protection in the state.

The resolution of these clashes is a significant achievement, as it will help to promote peace and stability in the state's agricultural sector. The NSCDC's efforts in this regard are likely to have a positive impact on the state's economy and food production.

According to him, the personnel of the unit have been trained and certified in Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanisms.

He said this has allowed them to effectively mediate conflicts between itinerant herders and sedentary farmers across all the 16 local government areas.

The efforts, he noted, have significantly reduced farmer-herder and other communal clashes in the state.

The NSCDC boss emphasised that the rangers have been providing security to state-owned, corporate, and individual farmers and protecting farmlands across the state.

“To this end, we strategically deployed operatives at Shonga Farm in Edu Local Government Area.

“Additionally, peasant farmers and agro-allied industries in the state are supported through continuous surveillance and routine patrols of agrarian communities.

“We reaffirmed the corps' unwavering commitment to safeguarding the agricultural sector, ensuring the protection of both farmers and their investments, and promoting sustainable growth within the state”, he stressed.
