… Fulani support group commends creation of Livestock Ministry, seeks government backing

The Federal Government has declared that it will partner with any individual, group or organisation committed to promoting peace, national unity and sustainable development, irrespective of ethnic or religious affiliations.

Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator George Akume , made the declaration on Tuesday in Abuja while receiving the leadership of the Nigerian Fulani Community Support Group (NFCSG), saying the administration of President Bola Tinubu remains focused on fostering national cohesion and inclusive governance.

In a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Yomi Odunuga, Akume “this government will work with anyone who supports peace and the national development of our country. We must continue to live together in harmony and reject every form of division capable of undermining our collective progress”.

The SGF described President Tinubu as a detribalised and inclusive leader whose style of governance has continued to strengthen national unity, peaceful coexistence and equal opportunities for all Nigerians, regardless of ethnic or religious background.

According to him, the administration is committed to building a nation where competence, character and patriotism take precedence over ethnic or religious considerations.

“Asiwaju is a fantastic man who carries everyone along in his government. He does not discriminate. He demonstrated this during his time as Governor of Lagos State by appointing qualified Nigerians from different ethnic backgrounds into his cabinet. He also ensured that individuals from other tribes who emerged victorious in party primaries were given the opportunity to contest elections on the party’s platform”, he said.

Akume noted that the President’s commitment to fairness, merit and inclusiveness is reflected in the composition of his administration and the implementation of policies designed to promote national integration and equitable development across the country.

Responding to requests presented by the delegation, the SGF assured the group that the Federal Government would consider its submissions in line with its commitment to responsive and people-centred governance.

“We will look into your requests and see what we can do. Continue the good work you are doing in promoting peace, and let us all work together to ensure a peaceful, free and credible electoral process in 2027”, he added.

He also urged Nigerians to reject divisive narratives, embrace peaceful coexistence and support the Renewed Hope Agenda, stressing that national development can only flourish in an atmosphere of peace, stability and shared responsibility.

Earlier, National Coordinator of the Nigerian Fulani Community Support Group, Dr. Aliyu Iliyasu Ardido, commended President Tinubu for establishing the Federal Ministry of Livestock Development, describing the move as a landmark initiative capable of modernising livestock production, creating employment opportunities for pastoral youths and boosting the sector’s contribution to the national economy.

Ardido expressed optimism that sustained government investment in education, vocational training, modern ranching systems, sustainable grazing practices and veterinary services would improve the livelihoods of pastoral communities.

He reaffirmed the group’s support for the Renewed Hope Agenda and pledged to continue sensitising Fulani communities on peaceful coexistence, lawful conduct and constructive participation in national development.

The group also appealed for government assistance in the form of logistics, operational vehicles, motorcycles, renovation of its zonal offices and campaign materials to strengthen its grassroots mobilisation and community engagement efforts.

Ardido assured the SGF of the group’s continued commitment to promoting peace, national unity and democratic participation, expressing confidence that closer collaboration between the government and community-based organisations would further enhance national stability, security and socio-economic development.
