JOS, Nigeria – The Plateu State Governor, Hon. Simon Bako Lalong has asked those promoting the idea of cattle colonies in his state to bury the thought, nothing that he never contemplated the idea of having colonies for Fulani herdsmen under his domain.




In a statement, Special Adviser to the Governor on Media and Publicity, Mr. Dan Manjang said the information circulating online that “parts of Riyom, Barkin Ladi and Bokkos Local Government Areas have been carved out for the creation of colonies for cattle, in fulfilment of his promises to the Fulani who have pressured him, to either cede those areas is nothing but a figment of the writers.

“The Governor herein after state unequivocally that this thinking is not only the figment of the imagination of its authors, who want to make political capital out of it, but false, malicious and highly mischievous”, he said.
