Governor of Lagos state, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has commenced the receiving of his 16 colleagues from the southern part of Nigeria for further talks on open grazing ban in the region.

The meeting is coming a couple of months after the same coalition of governors resolved to ban open grazing in their respective states.

The governors said the decision was taken as part of efforts to improve security in the region.

A week after the governors made the resolution, Abubakar Malami, attorney-general of the federation, said the decision “does not hold water” in the context of human rights as enshrined in the constitution.

He equated the ban on open grazing  in the southern part of the country to the prohibition of spare parts trading in the north.

Days later, the presidency also weighed in on the issue.

According to Garba Shehu, presidential spokesperson, the southern governors’ plan to enforce the ban on open grazing is of “questionable legality”.
