Speaking at the event, Professor Umaru Pate, Vice Chancellor of Federal University Kashere, Gombe State, stressed that the challenges facing the nation should not be attributed to any single ethnic group.
He called for unity and fairness among all Nigerians, regardless of ethnic or religious background.
He also pointed out the Fulani’s unique form of wealth, which primarily consists of cattle, emphasising the need for proper grazing land to support their livelihoods.
