Governor Obiano explained that the significance of the decision made by the state government to ban open grazing in the state was to enhance peaceful coexistence between farmers and the herders in Anambra.

According to him, the management of the crisis between farmers and herders has been a short-term measure and it has become necessary for the government to take a decisive action.
