He said Niger state government under Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago, deemed it imperative to mplement the Pastoralists Baseline data collection across the 25 Local Government Areas of the state in order to plan and project well for them.

“Fulani settlers and herders were disadvantaged in their access to basic social amenities such as potable water, healthcare facilities, electricity and schools hence the need for the engagement to reach out to them.

“We want a comprehensive data of all Pastoralists in the state who are they, where are their settlementw and what is theit number, more so that basic amenities can reach out to them easily” the commissioner said.

Alhaji Rabe therefore called for support and understanding from all stakeholders to ensure that the digital data collection which is going to be a continuous process to enable everybody to be part and parcel of the government.
