Consequently, Abubakar is set to open a factory, Rico Gardo, in Abuja which would produce animal feeds of various types including for cattle, small ruminants, horse and poultry. According to a statement issued Friday in Abuja and signed by the Media Adviser to the former vice president, Mazi Paul Ibe, “abundant animal feed, according to analysts will make possible the plan of the Federal Government to limit and control the movement of herdsmen and their cattle through the provision of ranches in selected locations across the country”. He expressed optimism that the factory, when operational, would enhance the federal government’s plan to revive the nation’s economy through agriculture and agro-allied industries. “Rico Gardo already produces animal feed in its factory in Numan, Adamawa State. “The feed company to be sited at Idu Industrial District in the Federal Capital Territory would provide thousands of direct and indirect jobs as well as conserve scarce foreign exchange for the country by providing high quality made-in-Nigeria animal feed for the nation’s livestock sector.”
