The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Benue chapter, has praised the Benue Government for successfully implementing the Anti-Open Grazing Law.
Rev. Akpen Leva, the chairman of the association in the state made the commendation in an interview with NAN on Wednesday in Makurdi,.
Leva said, “so far, the state government has demonstrated the political will to implement the law”.
Leva recollected that the Anti-Open Grazing Bill was originally initiated by CAN but later developed by the government.
He said it was impossible to have one grazing in the state without having acrimonious relationship with herders, adding that the best way to go was to ranch.
On the church, he asked for increase in the number of churches in the country to check ungodliness.
“People complain about the proliferation of churches without complaining of the increase in beer parlours and criminality in the society.
‘’If beer parlours can increase in numbers, why not churches,’’ he said.
