The Kano State government has announced plans to re-gazette grazing reserves that have been encroached upon, following an executive order issued by the governor. The order explicitly prohibits any ministry, department, or agency, including the Ministry of Agriculture and local government authorities, from allocating or granting occupancy rights on designated grazing reserves or cattle routes.

The government is expected to implement measures to enforce compliance with this order across all relevant sectors.
