Nigeria should look after cattle in a modern way by establishing controlled grazing pastures and cattle should be confined therein. All cattle farmers must be compelled to conform. The benefits deriving from the program are many. The cattle will be more productive when they would not have to travel long distances to feed and cattle diseases can be better controlled. Land resource needs to be economically used; for land is a fixed asset of any nation with increasing usage. Fulani herdsmen should not be allowed to control the nation by roaming as they desire with their cattle encouraging desertification on which Nigeria is already spending a lot of money.
