I won’t repeal anti-open grazing law if elected gov -Jime
Managing Director, Nigerian Export Processing Zones Authority (NEPZA), Emmanuel Jime, who is aspiring to be Benue state governor in 2019, says he will not repeal the anti-open grazing law if elected.
“There are rumours that I plan to repeal the Open Grazing Prohibition and Ranches Establishment Law if given the mandate to rule Benue state. This is not true,” Jime, who is seeking the APC ticket for the contest, told party officials when he visited the party’s secretariat in Makurdi.
Jime recalled that he was the first Benue legislator to move a motion on the floor of the House of Representatives in 2011, seeking the adoption of ranching as a modern way of breeding cattle.
“I will not tamper with the law; I will rather show more sincerity in its implementation. I won’t politicise it,” he said.
