Following the quit notice issued to Fulani herdsmen to vacate the Ondo Forest Reserve in Ondo State, Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) and governors of the South-West have reached a truce. 

The agreement was reached at a meeting held at the International Centre for Culture and Events (DOME), Alagbaka, which was attended by some governors from the North and various security agencies in the country. 

At the meeting chaired by the chairman of the Nigerian Governors Forum and governor of Ekiti, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, MACBAN, which is the umbrella body for fulani herdsmen, agreed for herders to stop night grazing, underage grazing and illegal occupation of government reserves.
