Gov. Abdulfatah Ahmed of Kwara has directed the state's Ministry of Agriculture to find suitable sites for grazing across the state for herdsmen.
The governor gave the directive in Ilorin on Wednesday when he received the report of the Judicial Commission on Civil Disturbances in Alapa.
Ahmed said the measure was part of measures to check incessant clashes by herdsmen and farmers and other communal clashes.
He stressed the need for patience and understanding to ensure communal harmony.
He added that the findings and recommendations of the committee would be carefully studied with a view to implementing them.
He, however, noted that anyone found to have incited communal violence under any guise would face the wrath of the law.
``It is my hope that the recommendations contained in this report will provide reliable legal and social remedies for the disturbing spectacle of civil disturbance among Kwara communities,'' he said.
The governor also directed the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Alhaji Isiaka Gold, to raise a White Paper and Implementation Committee to look into the findings.
He also directed Gold to ensure the immediate implementation of the recommendations of the report, adding that the state government would not leave any community in the state out of its development programmes.
The Chairman of the Judicial Commission of Inquiry, Justice Baba Muhammad, commended the state government for not interfering in the proceedings of the commission.
Muhammad expressed the hope that the four-volume report would bring lasting solution to the Alapa communal clash and other clashes among communties in the state.
