Popular Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has called for the establishment of a Ministry of Nomadic Affairs to attend to the needs of pastoralists in the country.

He made the remark at a one-day national security summit on pastoralism in Nigeria organised by the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN), in collaboration with the Northern Consensus Movement held in Abuja.
โ€œThe least they need is a Ministry of Nomadic Affairs that will look into their problems,โ€ Gumi said.
Former Minister of Interior, Lieutenant General, Abdulrahman Dambazau, also attended the summit.
He advocated better welfare for pastoralists as a panacea for tackling the security challenges in the country.
According to Dambazau, access to quality education and healthcare facilities should be provided for the pastoralists in addition to skills acquisition.
