Dutch Company Volunteer To Build Cattle Ranches In Nigeria

Mr Klaus Struilesma of a company called Cownexxion has showed interest  to build cattle ranches in Nigeria.

According to the Leadership Newspaper, this was disclosed in a statement by the Special Adviser Media and Publicity to the President, Mr. Femi Adesina, when President Muhammadu Buhari met with Chief Executive Officers of Dutch companies Monday on the sidelines of his official visit to the Hague, Netherlands.

The meeting which had over 20 CEOs of Dutch-owned companies were at the round table meeting with Mr. President.
It could be recalled that the Federal Government has been mulling the idea of building cattle ranches in some states as a way of ending the incessant farmers and herders clashes.
