The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, on Monday said he is threading cautiously over the issue of open grazing in the capital city.
Wike made the remark while noting that Nigeria is not an easy place for governance.
He spoke during his monthly press conference in Abuja.
Wike said he is doing everything possible to address open grazing in Abuja.
According to Wike: “The country we are in is not an easy one, no rational person will be happy seeing cows on the roads.
“There are so much complications that you have to thread consciousness and very careful in understanding the complexities of our nation now that we have so much crisis so we don’t compound the issues.
“The truth is that nobody is happy about it, I don’t want to do something….. governance is not like when you are running a private business, you have to thread cautiously and we are doing everything we can.
“For example, before I came there was a place where land was allocated for grazing reserves, about 1000 hectares, if I tell you the fight we are currently fighting.
“So many people have encroached, land grabbers have encroached, but it’s a problem that will be sorted out, though we have to thread cautiously.”
