The bill also lays down markers for the implementation of cattle ranching.

Punch Newspaper reported that the House had, on Tuesday, conducted a public hearing on the bill, which was applauded by stakeholders in attendance.

This comes as some southern states begin to implement a resolution to ban open grazing in favour of ranching.

Ondo State Governor Rotimi Akeredolu had on Tuesday signed an anti-grazing bill into law.

Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike has also signed an anti-open grazing bill.

The Enugu State bill is titled ‘Enugu State Prohibition of Open Grazing and Regulated Cattle Ranching and Connected Purposes’.
