 Malam Muhammad explained that the plan was also designed to ensure that pastoralists transit from extensive to intensive livestock production. He said pastoralists were also sensitized on the importance of girl child education, adult literacy as well as the need to live in peace and accommodate visitors in their settlements. According Muhammad  the adoption of ranching practice by the nomads will enhance their active participation in the nomadic education program as well as improve their productivity. “We told those we sensitized in the grazing reserve the consequences of moving from one place to another in search of pastures and water, as well as the challenges of traditional herding,’’ he said. He advised the nomads to embrace education and establish cooperative societies in order to derive benefits, especially government social interventions facilities from financial institutions.
