The committee’s visit follows concerns raised by Miyetti Allah and other Fulani leaders, who highlighted the need to ensure areas designated as "Labi" and "Burtali" – reserved specifically for grazing and livestock access to water – are respected. Speaking on the purpose of the visit, Faskari emphasized the importance of understanding all perspectives and ensuring that the concerns of both farmers and herders are addressed. "We are here to see the situation firsthand and understand the concerns raised. It is essential to maintain a balanced approach that fosters peaceful coexistence and harmony," he stated.

Faskari explained that the visit is in line with the directive of the state governor, Malam Dikko Umar Radda, who has prioritized peaceful resolution of issues related to land use for farming and grazing. "The governor has expressed the need for timely and harmonious resolutions. We are responding to the concerns raised and are committed to ensuring that the situation is resolved peacefully and swiftly," Faskari affirmed.

During the discussions, the committee encouraged all stakeholders to respect designated areas and work towards mutual understanding. "Respecting agreed boundaries is crucial in maintaining peace," Faskari remarked. He also noted that some areas under cultivation had yet to be officially approved, and efforts would be made to clarify land ownership and access. "While crops have been temporarily removed this year, moving forward, we encourage everyone to avoid cultivating in designated grazing areas, in the spirit of maintaining peace and understanding," he added.

Faskari emphasized that the goal is not only reconciliation but also the establishment of clear guidelines to prevent future misunderstandings. He cited examples from other parts of the state, such as Kaita, where local authorities were working collaboratively to ensure mutual respect for land use.

The meeting brought together important stakeholders, including traditional rulers, local government officials, and representatives from both farming and herding communities. Key groups such as Miyetti Allah and Kotal Hore were also present. The dialogue concluded with a strong commitment to ongoing peaceful discussions and adherence to agreed-upon land use boundaries.

"We are dedicated to ensuring that these concerns are resolved in a peaceful and respectful manner. Our work will continue in other areas of the state to promote harmony and ensure that both farmers and herders can live and work together peacefully," Faskari concluded.

As part of the broader initiative, the committee will visit other local governments in the coming days, including Musawa, where similar concerns have been raised. The Katsina State government remains committed to fostering peace and ensuring that all communities thrive in an atmosphere of mutual respect and understanding.
