The Ghana Institute of Surveyors is advocating for nomadic Fulani herdsmen to be given their own land as a solution to tensions between them and\u00a0and\u00a0local farmers.<\/p>\n
The activities of Fulani herdsmen have led to clashes between them and some local communities, where \u00a0they operate, leading to the loss of lives\u00a0and destruction of property.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”MEbqYogwBYKkfoLOmywQRslTlGJSs3nv”]Speaking at the 11th Surveyors week and 47th annual General meeting, the President of the Ghana Institute of Surveyors, Ekow Budu-Anugah, suggested that herdsmen must be given a separate land in the areas\u00a0they operate.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are saying that the Fulani issue is worrying to Ghanaians and that we don\u2019t have to lose the crops that they need, and we don\u2019t have to lose the meat that they bring, so we don\u2019t have to kill the cows or hurt them. We should find an amicable solution to this problem.\u00a0That is why we are saying that, they must try to give them land for grazing and land for farming,” he added.<\/p>\n
Mr. Budu-Anugah also recommended that the Districts consider registering the Fulani herdsmen to better regulate their activities.<\/p>\n
Give Fulani herdsmen ranches – Hannah Bissiw<\/strong><\/p>\n The suggestion by the Ghana Institute of Surveyors, is similar to a proposal by the Deputy Minister for Food and Agriculture, Dr. Hannah Bissiw.<\/p>\n Dr. Hannah Bissiw, a veterinary doctor, has already proposed the establishment of a\u00a0permanent cattle ranch as the solution to the\u00a0problem.<\/p>\n The Deputy Minister\u2019s comments are also in line with that of Security analyst, Dr. Kwesi Anning, pointed out that in 1986, Ghana was a member of an ECOWAS team which\u00a0agreed that there should be regulations on trans-human movement that characterizes the Fulani nomadic lifestyle.<\/p>\n The Ghana National Association of Cattle Farmers also proposed the enactment of specific bye-laws\u00a0to regulate the activities of Fulani herdsmen, which will by extension address various\u00a0conflicts between them\u00a0and locals around the country.<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n By Delali Adogla-Bessa\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Ghana Institute of Surveyors is advocating for nomadic Fulani herdsmen to be given their own land as a solution to tensions between them and\u00a0and\u00a0local farmers.
