  • Attahiru Jega announced that Nigeria’s livestock sector is attracting international investors, including those from the U.S., China, and Saudi Arabia
  • Jega emphasized the need for collaboration among stakeholders to enhance productivity and ensure the sustainability of livestock reforms in Nigeria

According to Attahiru Jega, co-chairman of the Presidential Livestock Reforms Implementation Committee, Nigeria’s livestock sector attracts international investors from the United States, China, and other countries.

Jega made this announcement in Borno during the inauguration of the Ngarannam Livestock Improvement and Ranch Settlement in Mafa Local Government Area (LGA). He credited recent federal government reforms for igniting the interest in Nigeria’s livestock industry.

“The livestock reforms are not solely the responsibility of the federal or state governments. Success requires collaboration from all stakeholders—ranchers, farmers, policymakers, and international partners,” Jega emphasized.

Jega stressed the importance of adopting innovative solutions to improve livestock productivity and ensure long-term sustainability.

“We need to embrace modern ranching techniques, enhance breed improvement, and provide adequate training for livestock farmers. These efforts will improve the quality of meat and dairy products while creating jobs and stimulating economic growth,” he said.

He highlighted that companies from Saudi Arabia, JBS S.A., and other global partners have already shown interest in investing, signaling growing global recognition of Nigeria’s reforms.

Baba Usman-Ngelzarma, National President of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN), praised the livestock settlement initiative, calling it a practical solution to challenges facing pastoralist communities.

“This project is a beacon of hope and a demonstration of what we can achieve with a unified purpose and commitment to progress,” Usman-Ngelzarma said.

The initiative marks a significant step in modernizing Nigeria’s livestock industry and improving the livelihood of pastoralist communities across the country.
