In a report by ThisDay Newspaper, Sulaiman urged the President to cleat the dreaded Sambisa forest for the proposed 'Grazing Reserve Project.'

Sulaiman, the Executive Chairman, Centre for Human Rights and Social Justice (CHRSJ) said that the bill would increase avoidable crises  in the land  through the violent resistance across the region of the country, saying that the Fulani herdsmen have  become dangerous species across the States of the Federation.

He further said forcing the grazing reserves bill on the States is contrary to section 17,18 and 20 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as amended, in order to save the country from imminent violent problem.
