The President made this revelation during an interaction with a delegation from the Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue, an organisation active in the promotion of peace in Nigeria.
President Buhari said that the conflicts and youth restiveness being witnessed in different parts of Nigeria are only symptoms of deeper socio-economic challenges facing Nigeria.
The President maintained that to achieve enduring peace in the country, greater effort must be made to eradicate poverty and injustice.
Speaking on the constant conflicts between farmers and herdsmen in parts of the nation, President Buhari said, “A plan to map out grazing areas will soon be presented to the Nigerian Governors Forum as a temporary solution to the frequent conflicts until cattle owners are persuaded to adopt other means of rearing their cattle.”
He commended the Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue for the relative peace that had returned to Plateau State, as well as their ongoing efforts to bring about peace in Southern Kaduna.
