Uzodinma encouraged herders and farmers to see themselves not as enemies but as partners working in complementary capacities to boost the nation's economy.Also, the Northern Governors Forum warned their southern colleagues over inflammatory comments that have caused much harm in the region.However, about four states in the north like Benue, Zamfara, Nasarawa, and Gombe had accepted the project and were about to conclude plans to begin it in various local government areas.
