Governor Soludo stated this during a meeting with members of Anambra State Cattle Menace Committee, held at the Government House, Awka.
According to the Governor, though the law has been in existence since almost one year now, cattle rearers keep parading certain areas in the state in contravention to the law.
He applauded members of the Committee for their devotion to duty, observed that Anambra operates in social harmony with everyone, including cattle rearers but cautioned that they must, as other businesses, operate within the ambit of existing laws.
Governor maintained l that because his administration launched initiatives to encourage tree planting, there is not enough land to accommodate open grazing.
The Governor pointed out that the initiative was geared towards salvaging Anambra environment from erosion which is fast depleting the scarce land.
He advised on the need for them to start considering gradual implementation of ranching as a modern way of cattle rearing because of its numerous advantages and money-making potentials.
