ABUJA- Herdsmen, under the auspices of Myetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria, MACBAN, Nasarawa State Chapter, have said that they have realized the benefits of cattle ranching and ready to embrace it.

This was disclosed by the coordinator, MACBAN, Nasarawa State Chapter who also doubles as Sarkin Yaki, Gaate of Gaate community, Kokona Local Government Area of Nasarawa State, Farmrade Retson Tedheke, who expressed excitement over the practical training they have received from an agribusiness firm. The firm operates, in the community, a cattle ranch and crop farming on over 3, 000 hectares of land.

Tedheke, with the realization and enthusiasm, revealed that with the proper management of proper cropping and animal husbandry system, that there will be peaceful co-existence as everything within the farming environment is useful for both farmers and herders who are into ranching, as they benefit from each other in terms of utilization of waste from farms as feeds and in return, cattle dungs as manure for the crops. It would be recalled that the Federal Government, about three years ago, came up with ranching as solution to curb the incessant bloody clashes between herdsmen and farmers across the country, which some states including Nasarawa volunteered to give some hectares of land for the take off cattle ranches.

David Wagner quits as Huddersfield manager by mutual consent with the club that's at bottom of the Premier League

David Wagner has left Huddersfield Town as manager by mutual consent with the club that's at bottom of the Premier League.  

The 47-year old German took over as Terriers boss in November 2015 and led them to promotion to the Premier League in 2016-17 via the Championship play-offs. Huddersfield were one of the favourites for relegation last season but Wagner kept them up with a 16th-place finish.  

They have struggled this season, with just 11 points from 22 games, and are eight points adrift of safety. Town chairman Dean Hoyle called it a "sad day" after Wagner's achievements took him among the "greats" of the club.  

Hoyle said in a statement: "I would like to begin by thanking David for all he has achieved at Huddersfield Town over the last three-and-a-half years. Under his stewardship, we have achieved things on the football pitch that surpass anything in modern memory, and that have gone well beyond my wildest expectations as chairman and as a fan. Under David's management, we took this club to the highest position it has held in almost 50 years and created memories that will last forever.
