Presidency issues statement on the Ruga settlement backlash, says 'Its to resolve far - Gimbiya - 07-01-2019 Presidency issues statement on the Ruga settlement backlash, says 'Its to resolve farmers/herders conflicts' The Presidency has just issued a statement to address what it describes as the 'recent unhelpful comments regarding the plan to stop roaming of cattle herders with the attendant clashes with farmers'. According to Garba Shehu, “Ruga Settlement” that seeks to settle migrant pastoral families simply means rural settlement in which animal farmers, not just cattle herders, will be settled in an organized place with provision of necessary and adequate basic amenities such as schools, hospitals, road networks, vet clinics, markets and manufacturing entities that will process and add value to meats and animal products. Quote:Beneficiaries will include all persons in animal husbandry, not only Fulani herders. The Federal Government is planning this in order to curb open grazing of animals that continue to pose security threats to farmers and herders.by Linda IkejI |
