The Jigawa State Government has introduced a cross-border water strategy aimed at preventing recurring clashes between farmers and herders in border communities.
This was contained in a press statement signed by Hamisu Muhammad, Chief Press Secretary to the Jigawa State Government, and issued to journalists.
Governor Umar Namadi disclosed this while receiving a delegation from the Strategic Intelligence Management Institute, led by Ambassador M.D. Aliyu, during a courtesy visit at Government House, Dutse.
The governor said the seasonal movement of cattle and camels from neighbouring Niger Republic, especially during harsh weather conditions, often puts pressure on local resources and creates tension between farmers and pastoralists.
According to him, the state government responded by providing water facilities across the border to enable herders remain in their areas longer until crops are harvested in Jigawa communities.
He explained that the measure has significantly reduced disputes over farmland and grazing routes, while improving peaceful coexistence among affected communities.
Governor Namadi noted that the initiative forms part of the administration’s broader strategy of addressing security challenges through preventive, intelligence-driven, and community-based solutions rather than waiting for crises to occur.
He added that Jigawa’s relative peace, despite its location near volatile areas, is the result of deliberate policies, close collaboration with security agencies, and continuous engagement with border residents.
The governor assured the visiting delegation of the state government’s support, expressing confidence that the outcome of the study tour would help strengthen security strategies in Jigawa and across the country.
Earlier, Ambassador M.D. Aliyu said Jigawa was selected for the study visit because of its unique border dynamics and effective security management model.
He explained that the programme is designed to expose senior security and intelligence officers to practical solutions for tackling illegal migration, smuggling, and other transnational crimes.
