Herdmen attacks: Why we are setting up Ruga settlement across Nigeria – Presidency
The Presidency has reacted to the controversies surrounding the planned establishment of Ruga settlement for Fulani herdsmen across the nation.
He said, “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.
“Stripped of the politics and howling that has attended the recent comments, there is no government plan to seize state land, colonize territory or impose Ruga on any part of the federation. Government has made it clear time and again that the programme is voluntary.
