Jigawa resettles returnee farmers from Niger Republic after 47 years of dispute
Jigawa State Government, in collaboration with the National Boundary Commission (NBC), has resolved a 47-year-old international farmland dispute between border communities in Nigeria and the Republic of Niger.
Mr Usman in a formal presentation of alternative farmlands to affected farmers said the state government relocated 74 Nigerian farmers to Sule Tankarkar Local Government Area to ensure a permanent resolution and prevent future conflict along the international border, adding that the committee outlined two primary recommendations.
These are that members of Jobi community must immediately cease cultivation on farmlands belonging to the Kyalli community in Niger Republic and the Jigawa State Government should provide alternative, viable farmland within Nigerian territory to affected Jobi farmers.
