During the inauguration of the Renewed Hope Livestock Reform Implementation Committee, headed by former INEC Chairman Attahiru Jega, Tinubu emphasized that the Ministry of Livestock Development would focus on harnessing the potential of dairy products.

Ibe expressed dissatisfaction with the federal government’s economic policies, describing them as trial-and-error and criticizing the lack of governance prioritization by the APC-led administration.

“Tinubu has confirmed that governance is not his priority, as he remains entrenched in trial-and-error economic policies that serve the politics of 2027,” Ibe stated on his social media platform.

NaijaNews reported that the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) hailed Tinubu’s establishment of the new Ministry of Livestock as a fulfillment of promises. MACBAN President Baba Othman-Ngelzarma praised the ministry’s potential to enhance Nigeria’s agricultural productivity and ensure food security.

“With this development, MACBAN believes the aspirations of Nigerian pastoralists are realized under the Renewed Hope Agenda,” Ngelzarma remarked. He noted that MACBAN had long advocated for a dedicated ministry to modernize livestock production in line with global standards.
