The chairman who was represented by the councillors leader, honorable Gwandah Simon, said the local government has purchased enough doses of (CPPP) vaccines to promote a healthy livestock population.

Sumi said that the Vaccination campaign will also encourage livestock farming to boost the economy of Bogoro, Bauchi state and Nigeria at large.

He noted that there’s a massive increase in the cattle’s population and attributed the trend to the influx of Fulani cattle breeders from conflict-affected areas.

The Council boss, commended the state governor, Bala administration’s plan  partnering with donors to establish semi-earth dams and drive livestock development across the state.

While Chida Dogo Kushi, a veterinary doctor in the local government, said the campaign will strengthen the resilience of local ag-ropastoral communities to environmental and economic challenges.

“This program will address these challenges by working with traditional pastoralist leaders and other domestic rearers to vaccinate their cattle to reduce the risk of disease transmission to wildlife inside and support sustainable livestock management practices,” she added.
