The National Economic Council has proposed a budget of N100Billion for the implementation of the National Livestock Transformation Plan.
Head, Sub-committee on Farmer- Herder crisis, Gov. of Ebonyi state, Dave Umahi said that it would be 80- 20 per cent share formula whereby the Federal Government would bear 80% of the amount while the participating states would support with 20% and make provision of the land towards the programme.
Umahi said that states are free to use any animal of their choice in the implementation of the programme and an effective take off date will be decided at its next meeting in October.
