THE COWS IN ABUJA ARE A SECURITY STORY, NOT JUST AN URBAN NUISANCE.

By Adamu Lawal Toro

“The road is made for human beings.”
A motorist in Abuja shouted at a Fulani herder whose cattle had occupied part of a busy road within the Federal Capital Territory. The herder calmly responded:
“This your car, is it a human being?”
The exchange, captured in a now viral video, has generated outrage, laughter and condemnation in equal measure. To many city residents, it was another disturbing reminder of the growing presence of cattle within Abuja metropolis. To others, it reflected what they see as stubborn resistance by pastoralists to modern urban order.

But beyond the emotions and social media mockery, the conversation revealed something deeper and more troubling about the crisis of insecurity and displacement unfolding quietly across the FCT.

The problem of cattle within Abuja city is not simply about indiscipline or the refusal of herders to obey urban regulations. It is also a consequence of the collapse of security within forests, grazing corridors and rural settlements surrounding the capital city.
Another statement by the herder in the same video deserves closer attention:
“Fulani man… we only follow grass.”
That short sentence captures the historical reality of pastoral life across West Africa. For centuries, pastoralists survived by moving seasonally in search of pasture and water. Their movement followed ecological patterns, not political boundaries. They traditionally avoided dense urban settlements because cities offered neither grass nor safety for livestock.
So why are cows now increasingly visible within Abuja city?
The answer lies partly in the frightening transformation of the forests and rural outskirts of the FCT into dangerous territories controlled or infiltrated by bandits, kidnappers and criminal gangs.
Large portions of forested areas around Bwari, Kuje, Abaji, Kwali and even areas bordering Niger, Kaduna and Nasarawa states have become high-risk zones. Communities have repeatedly suffered kidnappings, attacks and extortion. Farmers fear going to farms while herders fear moving deep into forests where armed gangs operate freely.

In another revealing statement from the viral video, the herder said:
“Get rid of bandits from the bush and Fulani will return to the bush.”
That statement may sound simplistic, but it contains an uncomfortable truth. Many pastoralists who once avoided urban areas are now moving closer to populated centres because insecurity has made traditional grazing routes unsafe.

This does not excuse the dangers associated with cattle roaming within a modern city. Abuja residents are justified in worrying about traffic obstruction, sanitation problems and public safety. A capital city cannot function efficiently if highways become grazing routes.

However, policy responses driven purely by anger or symbolism will not solve the problem.

The Minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike, has repeatedly expressed frustration over roaming cattle within Abuja. His administration has focused heavily on restoring urban order, demolishing illegal structures and modernising the city’s appearance.

Yet the cattle issue cannot be solved merely through threats, arrests or media outrage. Abuja’s cattle problem is rooted in a larger rural security collapse.

The forests surrounding the FCT have become theatres of criminal activity. Armed groups exploit difficult terrain, weak surveillance and poor policing presence. Villages that once supported farming and pastoral livelihoods now live under constant fear. Many herders reportedly pay illegal levies to armed groups before accessing grazing areas. Others lose cattle to rustlers or kidnappers.
In such an environment, some pastoralists calculate that the risks of entering the city are lower than the risks of remaining in isolated forests.

Another controversial statement from the herder also deserves examination: “It is you people causing banditry. Fulani man has no money and guns.” Many Nigerians may strongly disagree with this claim, especially given the widespread accusations linking some criminal groups to Fulani militias or armed herders. Indeed, criminality exists across all communities and ethnic groups, and no group should be collectively absolved from accountability.

However, the statement also reflects the deep feeling of collective stigmatization among ordinary pastoralists. Many poor herders argue that they themselves are victims of banditry, cattle rustling and rural violence. They insist that sophisticated weapons and organised criminal networks are beyond the reach of the average nomadic family struggling merely to survive. This is where the Nigerian state must avoid simplistic narratives.

Not every herder is a bandit. Not every pastoral settlement is a criminal camp. Equally, criminal elements hiding under pastoral identities must not be tolerated. The challenge requires intelligence-driven policing rather than blanket ethnic profiling.

The Abuja cattle debate therefore exposes a major contradiction in Nigeria’s security strategy. Government often focuses on visible urban symptoms while neglecting the invisible rural causes.

A city free of roaming cattle will not emerge simply because officials issue directives from air-conditioned offices. It will emerge when rural grazing zones become safe, when forests are reclaimed from criminals and when pastoral communities regain confidence to operate away from city centres.

The FCT administration must therefore complement urban enforcement with aggressive rural security measures. Forest surveillance should be strengthened. Grazing corridors and rural settlements must be secured. Security agencies should dismantle kidnapping camps operating around the territory. Technology-driven monitoring, including drones and community intelligence networks, should become part of the strategy.

At the same time, Nigeria must accelerate long-delayed livestock reforms. Ranching, modern grazing reserves, water infrastructure and livestock value chains can reduce uncontrolled movement over time. But such reforms require trust, inclusion and economic support rather than political hostility.

The viral Abuja video may appear amusing on the surface, but it exposes a serious national dilemma. When herders no longer feel safe in forests and bushes, they drift toward highways and cities. When the countryside becomes lawless, urban centres inevitably inherit the crisis.

Abuja’s cows are therefore not merely an urban planning problem. They are warning signs of a deeper security failure unfolding beyond the city lights.

Until Nigeria secures its forests and restores confidence in rural life, the roads of Abuja may continue hosting both cars and cattle in an uneasy coexistence.

Governance of the Halal Supply Chain: Institutional Frameworks, Challenges, and Future Directions

The rapid growth of the global halal economy has intensified the need for robust governance mechanisms across halal supply chains. With the global Muslim population exceeding 1.9 billion and halal markets extending beyond food into sectors such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, logistics, and tourism, ensuring halal integrity throughout the supply chain has become a significant regulatory and operational concern. This article examines the governance of halal supply chains by exploring institutional frameworks, certification systems, regulatory challenges, and technological innovations. The paper analyses how governance structures function across multiple stakeholders including governments, certification bodies, industry actors, and consumers. It also highlights the challenges arising from fragmented standards, globalized supply networks, and risks of contamination or fraud. Finally, the article discusses emerging technological solutions such as blockchain and digital traceability systems that could enhance transparency and accountability in halal supply chains. The paper argues that stronger international coordination and standardized governance frameworks are essential to ensure the sustainability and credibility of the global halal industry.

1. Introduction
The global halal economy has experienced remarkable growth over the past two decades, driven primarily by the expanding Muslim population and increasing demand for halal-certified products across global markets. According to recent market reports, the halal food sector alone is valued at over USD 2 trillion and is expected to continue growing rapidly in the coming decades. Beyond food, halal markets now encompass sectors such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, finance, fashion, logistics, and tourism.
In this context, the governance of halal supply chains has become increasingly important. Halal governance refers to the institutional arrangements, regulatory frameworks, certification systems, and monitoring mechanisms that ensure compliance with Islamic dietary and ethical standards throughout the entire supply chain.
Unlike conventional supply chains, halal supply chains require strict adherence to religious principles derived from Islamic law (Shariah). This includes ensuring that products are free from prohibited substances (haram), that production processes follow halal requirements, and that halal products remain segregated from non-halal products throughout transportation, storage, and distribution.
However, the globalization of food production and trade has made halal governance increasingly complex. Products often pass through multiple countries, regulatory systems, and supply chain actors before reaching consumers. As a result, maintaining halal integrity throughout the supply chain requires coordinated governance mechanisms across different jurisdictions and institutions.
This paper examines the governance of halal supply chains by exploring institutional frameworks, certification systems, regulatory challenges, and technological innovations. The aim is to provide a comprehensive understanding of how governance structures shape halal supply chain integrity and what reforms may be necessary to strengthen the global halal industry.

2. Conceptualizing the Halal Supply Chain
The concept of the halal supply chain extends beyond the final product to encompass all processes involved in producing, handling, transporting, and distributing halal goods. Tieman (2011) defines a halal supply chain as a supply chain that ensures halal integrity from the source of raw materials to the point of consumption.
In a conventional supply chain, the primary objectives often revolve around efficiency, cost reduction, and customer satisfaction. In contrast, halal supply chains incorporate an additional dimension—religious compliance. This means that the supply chain must ensure not only product quality and safety but also adherence to Islamic principles.
The halal supply chain can generally be divided into several key stages:
1. Raw material sourcing
2. Processing and manufacturing
3. Packaging and labeling
4. Storage and warehousing
5. Transportation and logistics
6. Retail and distribution
At each stage, governance mechanisms are required to prevent contamination with non-halal materials and to ensure compliance with halal standards.
Another important concept is halal integrity, which refers to maintaining the halal status of products throughout the entire supply chain. Any breach in halal integrity—such as cross-contamination with non-halal substances—can invalidate halal certification and undermine consumer trust.

3. Institutional Frameworks in Halal Supply Chain Governance
Governance of halal supply chains involves multiple institutional actors operating at national and international levels. These include governments, halal certification bodies, accreditation agencies, industry organizations, and religious authorities.
Government Regulators
In many countries, governments play a central role in regulating halal certification and ensuring compliance with halal standards. For example, Malaysia has developed one of the most comprehensive halal governance frameworks through institutions such as the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM) and the Halal Development Corporation (HDC).
Similarly, Indonesia introduced the Halal Product Assurance Law, which requires mandatory halal certification for many products sold within the country. The law established the Halal Product Assurance Organizing Agency (BPJPH), which oversees halal certification and compliance.
These regulatory frameworks aim to standardize halal certification processes and strengthen consumer protection.
Halal Certification Bodies
Halal certification bodies are responsible for auditing production facilities, verifying ingredients, and issuing halal certificates to compliant businesses. These organizations serve as intermediaries between religious authorities and commercial enterprises.
Certification bodies typically conduct several types of inspections, including:
• Ingredient verification
• Production facility audits
• Supply chain monitoring
• Periodic compliance reviews
Examples of well-known halal certification authorities include:
• JAKIM (Malaysia)
• MUIS (Singapore)
• Halal Food Authority (United Kingdom)
• Islamic Food and Nutrition Council of America (IFANCA)
However, the proliferation of certification bodies worldwide has also created governance challenges, particularly regarding mutual recognition of certifications across countries.

4. Halal Logistics and Supply Chain Integrity
Logistics plays a critical role in maintaining halal integrity throughout the supply chain. Halal logistics refers to the processes involved in transporting, storing, and handling halal products in ways that prevent contamination with non-halal goods.
Key principles of halal logistics include:
• Physical segregation of halal and non-halal products
• Dedicated transportation and storage facilities
• Cleanliness and sanitation protocols
• Halal-compliant packaging and labeling
For example, transportation vehicles that carry both halal and non-halal products may require strict cleaning procedures to avoid contamination.
Similarly, warehouses storing halal products must ensure that these products are kept separate from non-halal goods such as pork or alcohol-based items.
The development of halal logistics standards has been particularly advanced in Malaysia and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, where halal logistics certification programs have been introduced to strengthen supply chain governance.

5. Challenges in Halal Supply Chain Governance
Despite significant progress, several challenges continue to affect the governance of halal supply chains.
Fragmented Certification Standards
One of the most significant challenges is the lack of global standardization in halal certification. Different countries and certification bodies often apply different interpretations of halal requirements, leading to inconsistencies in certification processes.
For example, a product certified halal in one country may not necessarily be recognized as halal in another country due to differences in certification criteria.
Globalized Supply Chains
Modern food supply chains often involve complex international networks. Raw materials may originate in one country, be processed in another, and distributed through multiple markets.
This complexity makes it difficult to ensure consistent halal compliance throughout the supply chain.
Risk of Fraud and Mislabeling
Instances of halal fraud have occasionally been reported, where products are falsely labeled as halal without proper certification. Such incidents can significantly undermine consumer confidence in halal certification systems.
Cross-Contamination Risks
Shared facilities, transportation systems, and storage warehouses increase the risk of cross-contamination between halal and non-halal products.
Ensuring segregation in large-scale industrial supply chains remains a major governance challenge.

6. The Role of Technology in Halal Supply Chain Governance
Technological innovation is increasingly being used to strengthen governance mechanisms in halal supply chains.
Blockchain Technology
Blockchain systems can provide transparent and tamper-proof records of product movements throughout the supply chain. By recording transactions in decentralized digital ledgers, blockchain technology can enhance traceability and reduce the risk of fraud.
Internet of Things (IoT)
IoT sensors can monitor storage conditions, transportation routes, and product handling processes in real time. This helps ensure that halal products are handled according to established protocols.
Digital Halal Certification
Online certification platforms allow consumers to verify halal certification using QR codes or mobile applications. These systems increase transparency and help prevent counterfeit halal labels.
Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence systems can analyze supply chain data to identify potential risks, detect anomalies, and improve compliance monitoring.
The integration of these technologies could significantly strengthen halal supply chain governance in the future.

7. Toward Global Harmonization of Halal Standards
Given the global nature of the halal market, many scholars and policymakers have emphasized the need for greater harmonization of halal standards across countries.
International organizations such as the Standards and Metrology Institute for Islamic Countries (SMIIC) and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) have attempted to develop standardized halal guidelines.
Greater international cooperation could facilitate mutual recognition of halal certifications and reduce trade barriers in halal markets.
However, achieving full harmonization remains challenging due to differences in religious interpretations, national regulations, and commercial interests.

8. Conclusion
The governance of halal supply chains is essential for maintaining halal integrity, consumer trust, and the credibility of the global halal economy. As halal markets expand globally, governance mechanisms must evolve to address the increasing complexity of international supply networks.
This article has examined the institutional frameworks, certification systems, logistical requirements, and technological innovations that shape halal supply chain governance. While significant progress has been made in developing halal governance systems, challenges such as fragmented standards, globalized supply chains, and risks of contamination remain.
Future improvements in halal supply chain governance will likely depend on stronger international coordination, greater standardization of certification frameworks, and the integration of advanced digital technologies.
Ultimately, effective governance is critical to ensuring that halal products remain authentic, transparent, and compliant with Islamic principles from production to consumption.

INVEST IN BORNO: OUR TIME IS NOW

By ~ Sa'id Alkali Kori, PhD

My fellow citizens of Borno, our brothers and sisters in the diaspora, and the global community of investors, I address you today in my new capacity as the Chairman of the Borno State Investment Promotion Agency (BOIPA) and Chief Investment Adviser to His Excellency, The Executive Governor of Borno.
I come with a simple message: Borno is open for business.

For too long, the world has known our state only through the lens of conflict. But we who come from this soil know a different story. We are the descendants of a great and ancient kingdom, heirs to a legacy of commerce, scholarship, and enterprise that once made the Sahara a highway of trade, not a barrier. That spirit, that age-old honour and dignity, has never left us. It has only been waiting for its moment.

That moment is now.

This transformation has one author: His Excellency, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum, CON, Executive Governor of Borno State. Under his leadership, we have moved from a narrative of survival to a strategy for growth. While the world remained focused on yesterday's headlines, Governor Zulum has been quietly, systematically rebuilding our state from the ground up. He has not waited for investors. He has not hoped for prosperity. He has worked.

Today, because of His Excellency's vision, destroyed schools have been rebuilt and new ones constructed, bringing children back to the classroom. New vocational centres and skills schools have been established, equipping our youth with trades. Millions have been disbursed directly to small businesses, injecting capital into our grassroots economy. Flyovers, New roads and bridges now connect our farming communities to markets. Partnerships have been forged to revive our free trade zones, positioning Borno as the gateway to the Lake Chad Basin economy.

This is not a government asking for trust. This is a government showing results.

The foundations for this new economy are not just promises; they are law. We have enacted the Borno State Investment Promotion Agency Law, creating BOIPA as your gateway and guide. We have simplified our regulations through the State Action on Business Enabling Reforms, cutting red tape. We have developed the Framework for Responsible and Inclusive Land-Intensive Agricultural Investments to ensure our growth benefits both investors and host communities. The scaffolding for our economic future is in place.

To the people of Borno, to the traders in our markets and the youth in our vocational centres: you are the first and most important investors. This campaign is for you. It is a call to believe in your own enterprise. Your Governor has built the roads and the schools; now it is your turn to build the businesses that will bring them to life.

To the Nigerian and international investor, I say: look at Borno with fresh eyes. See a state bordering three nations, a gateway to the entire Sahelian economy. See an agricultural powerhouse with millions of hectares of arable land, waiting to be cultivated. See a place with mineral resources, a young workforce, and a government actively seeking partnership through transparent Public-Private Partnerships.

On this foundation, I now assume my role. And I make this pledge: BOIPA will be a one-stop shop that actually works. We will guide you from inquiry to groundbreaking with professionalism. We will remove obstacles, not create them. We will ensure that every investor who comes to Borno finds a partner in government.

This is an invitation to be part of one of the most compelling economic revival stories of our time. From the revitalization of our agro-processing industries to the development of our free trade zones and the harnessing of our solar energy potential, the opportunities are as vast as our state itself.

Let the world know: the ancient heart of commerce is beating once again. Borno is not just recovering; we are rising. We are building a self-reliant Borno, a productive Borno, a Borno that is truly open for business.

The infrastructure is built. The reforms are law. The people are ready. And the Governor has done his part.

Now, Borno is open for business. Join us.

Dr. Sa'id Alkali Kori
Chief Investment Adviser to the Governor of Borno State.
Chairman, Borno State Investment Promotion Agency (BOIPA)

```Senate lauds Tinubu’s National Halal Economy Strategy```

Guardian Nigeria

February 8, 2026 10:09am WAT

The Senate Committee on Finance has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for launching Nigeria’s National Halal Economy Strategy, describing it as a bold and strategic move to position the country within the global halal market estimated at $7.7 trillion.

In a statement signed by its Chairman, Senator Sani Musa, the committee said the initiative was timely and aligned with global best practices, noting that several countries—including the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Turkey, Brazil, Thailand, and Singapore—have successfully leveraged halal frameworks to boost manufacturing, agricultural exports, financial services, and foreign investment.

President Tinubu, represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima, officially unveiled the strategy on Thursday, February 6, 2026, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The framework was developed in partnership with Saudi Arabia’s Halal Products Development Company (HPDC), following a bilateral agreement signed in February 2025 at the Makkah Halal Forum. It is designed to strengthen quality standards, certification systems, and competitiveness across key sectors including food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, tourism, and ethical finance.

It projected that the initiative could add about $1.5 billion to Nigeria’s GDP by 2027 and unlock billions of dollars in domestic value over the next decade through increased exports, investment inflows, and industrial growth.

“This decisive step reinforces Nigeria’s readiness to adopt proven international models, unlock new economic frontiers, and establish itself as a competitive player in the evolving global economy,” the statement concluded.
