The attorney-general of the state and commissioner for justice, Prof. Zacchaeus Adangor , disclosed this yesterday while briefing newsmen shortly after the meeting of the executive council at Government House, Port Harcourt, which was presided over by Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike.
Adangor said when the bill is passed into and assented to by the State governor, open grazing of livestock will be criminalised and prohibited in any part of the State. The attorney-general explained that livestock rearing activities would only be permitted within the precinct of a ranch and such ranch would have been certified by the State government.
