The establishment of the Livestock Development Ministry has been denied by the Biafra Republic Government in Exile, led by Simon Ekpa.
This remark was made just hours after President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Tuesday declared the establishment of the Livestock Development Ministry.
Reactions to the development have been varied across the nation.

Ekpa posted a criticism of the ministry’s formation on X, admonishing readers not to send it into Biafra territory.
He scowled at how quickly Tinubu’s administration established and gave priority to the Livestock Ministry.
It warned that Biafra land should not be included in the scheme of things regarding the Livestock Development Ministry.
“If you create it in any Biafra territory, we will not allow it. Do not include Biafra territory in your so-called livestock.
“The Fulanis called for the creation on June 23rd, 2024 and the President prioritized it by creating the ministry on July 9, 2024, in less than a month.

“We will not accept anything associated with it in Biafraland,” he said.
Remember how the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria, or MACBAN, urged Tinubu to establish a Livestock Development Ministry in June of last year?
Outside of the Ekpa-led BRGIE, Nigerians have questioned the Ministry’s significance in light of the country’s desire to reduce the high expense of governance.
Financial analyst Kalu Aja, for example, disapproved of the ministry’s establishment and claimed that the administration was more concerned with winning reelection than with maintaining fiscal restraint.
