Governor Sanwo-Olu <\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The number of Southern governors that have kicked against the open-grazing of cattle has increased with Lagos State being the newest state to sign the bill into law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Monday afternoon, Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu signed the anti-Open grazing bill into law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recall that the Lagos State House of Assembly had passed the anti-grazing bill the same week it passed the Value Added Tax bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Governor Sanwo-Olu did not sign the anti-grazing bill alongside the VAT bill.
Recall that last week, Akwa Ibom and Enugu State governors also signed the anti-grazing bills in their respective states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
