Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State, on Monday signed the anti-open grazing bill into law.
The law is to prohibit the open grazing and trespass of cattle and for connected purposes.
The House of Assembly passed the bill on September 9 after it scaled the second reading and it went through a public hearing.
The signing of the bill comes barely a week after the governor assented to the State Value Added Tax Bill, empowering the state to collect VAT.
Governor Sanwo-Olu’s assent to the bill also comes after some governors in the South, including Ogun, Ondo, Akwa Ibom, and Rivers signed the same law prohibiting open grazing.
