The Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders
Association, MACBAN, North West zone has offered to assist the Federal
Government in the protection of refineries and pipelines.
The
zonal youth leader of MACBAN, Comrade Yusuf Usman gave the call when he
led members of the group to pay management of the Kaduna Refining and
Petrochemical Company, KRPC, a courtesy visit.
MACBAN
explained that it decided to offer assistance in the protection of
pipelines because vandalised oil installations in time past had led to
the death of some of its cattle.
Usman disclosed that Fulani herdsmen were peaceful people who have lived peacefully with their neighbours.
According
to Usman, “A couple of years ago, some of our cattle drank poisonous
water, contaminated by pollution due to emission from vandalized or
burst pipelines containing petroleum products and we are living
witnesses to the negative consequences of sabotaging or vandalizing KRPC
facilities.
“The Fulani herdsmen in this part of the country
have all these years been one of the neighbours of the KRPC. Our
neighbourliness has been very cordial, mutual and peaceful.”.
