Kwara Trains 200 Farmers on Bull Fattening and Maps Migration Routes to Prevent Clashes

Date: 2025-05-16

The Kwara State Government has trained over 200 livestock farmers on commercial fodder production and bull fattening techniques, according to Mrs Oloruntoyosi Thomas, the state's Commissioner for Livestock Development.

Mrs Thomas announced the initiative at the recent Quarterly Inter-ministerial Press Briefing in Ilorin, stating that the government is actively linking dairy farmers to milk collection centres to improve market access.

She highlighted the administration's collaboration with Bayero University's Centre for Dryland Agriculture to geospatially map transhumance routes-seasonal livestock migration paths-to reduce farmer-herder conflicts. The project forms part of broader efforts to modernise livestock farming and boost agricultural productivity.

She also spoke about strategic engagement under the Special Agro Industrial Processing Zones (SAPZ) project in the state as she emphasized that several capacity buildings were carried out on needs assessments, sensitization, and development of gender-friendly infrastructure plans among others.

The Commissioner further explained that the Kwara State Government under the watch of Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq actively participated in the March 2025 Cadre Harmonise Analysis to guide early warning systems and improve food and nutrition security across the State.

While appreciating the development partners including the World Bank, IFAD, Islamic Development Bank (ISDB), FAO, and African Development Bank (AfDB) for their continuous support, the Commissioner assured that the government is ready to build a resilient livestock economy that contributes meaningfully to the State's GDP.

She therefore, called on private sector players, agripreneurs, and cooperative groups to key into the Ministry's vision and partner in scaling these impactful interventions.

"The future of livestock in Kwara is bright. With the right partnerships and continued investment, we are confident of building a resilient livestock economy that contributes meaningfully to the State's GDP and ensures no one is left behind," she affirmed.
