He northern governors were working hard to restore peace between farmers and herders.

“We are all committed to solving the problem of movement up and down by the herders because once we solve that problem, the clashes between farmers and herders will reduce significantly.

“It will be sorted out; there will always be differences in opinion but that is not fundamental.

“The Northern State Governors Forum is committed to ending the nomadic movement of cattle and people in the shortest possible time and we are all working,” he added.
