The Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) has advocated for the cultivation of moral values and the avoidance of social vices among its members and their families.
The MACBAN, National President Alhaji Baba-Othman Ngelzarma made the call at the inauguration of newly executives of the Bauchi State chapter of the Association in Bauchi.
He said this initiative is to promote a responsible and socially aware community within the pastoralist groups across Nigeria.
NGelzarma urged members to take concrete steps to caution their children and wards against immorality and social vices.
The President also urged its members to adopt modern techniques of cattle rearing to boost livestock production in the country.
“By modernizing, MACBAN aims to enhance productivity, improve animal welfare, and reduce conflicts arising from traditional grazing practices,” he said
Ngelzarma also urged the pastoralists to encourage their youth and children to recognize the importance of youth involvement in sustainable agriculture.
He also emphasised the need for skill acquisition programs designed to equip young herders with essential skills in livestock management, entrepreneurship, and modern agricultural techniques.
