The lawmaker representing Imo West in the National Assembly, Senator Rochas Okorocha has said that Nigeria loses billions of dollars from cattle business, urging the Federal Government to invest in the business.

He stated this during an interview on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, noting if cattle business is being tapped well, it could create one million jobs for Nigerians.

“Do you know how many billions of dollars this nation is missing by doing not this business of cattle in the Federal Republic of Nigeria?” he asked.

“This business of cattle can create one million jobs for Nigerians if well managed. I wish Nigerians can call me or the governor will call me and say ‘look Rochas, the N76billion we want to give to youths and share, take it and fix the cattle business.’”

“If I don’t create one million jobs within the shortest possible time, then know I am not Rochas. This is business. Poor people will say ‘see money and people are just joking with it.’”
