Co-Chair of the committee, Professor Attahiru Jega, presented the report to President Tinubu at the State House in Abuja on Thursday.
In his address to State House Correspondents thereafter, Professor Jega outlined the committee's recommendations, which included the establishment of a Federal Ministry of Livestock Development.
The report provides detailed guidelines for setting up the new ministry.
Professor Jega emphasised that the report marks the beginning of addressing the key challenges facing Nigeria's livestock sector.
