The Niger State government has said herders in the state will soon be mandated to carry Identity Cards. He stated, “We must register the whole cattle in Niger State, they must carry ID cards. In a few months, before you rear cattle in Niger State, you must have a licence. The way you register your company, you register your house and cars, you must register your ranch also so that the Niger State Government will know the number of cattle you have in Niger State. That was why he created the ministry so that the Fulani rearing cattle among us can feel the impact of the government and have a sense of belonging.
