government that will assuage Fulani herders and farmers crises in
the state. That will bring peace and harmony between both of them
and the citizens of the state and country at large.”
Lamai maintained that in Nasarawa State, the approach had always
been enlightenment to the issue of Fulani herders and farmers
clashes.
He added that the state government would surely comply with the
Federal Government initiative to bring to an end the continuous
crises between farmers and herders in the state.
