The Bayelsa State Government, under the Bayelsa State Livestock Management Committee has given 14-day ultimatum to the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) and other operators to take their cattles out of the State.

Mr David Alagoa, Commissioner for Agriculture and Natural Resources and Chairman of the 23 man committee stated this in an interview with newsmen.

He warned that at the end of the ultimatum, their cattles would be impounded if MACBAN fails to heed to the directive.

The commissioner said, "So, we’ve agreed that we give them a moratorium period of 10 days and by the 14th day, which falls on the 10th of April, we will start impounding (cows).

"If you are interested in cattle business in Bayelsa, the governor has opened up business opportunities of huge value chain in the meat business. It is time now. If you have land and you want to ranch, you can ranch, since we are going purely for ranching. If you want to plant grass and sell for cattle, you can sell."

Governor Douye Diri had on March 10, 2021, assented to the 'Livestock Breeding, Rearing and Marketing Regulation Law, 2021'.
