Opinion: NLTP: The Human Face of a Savage Scheme, By Ifedayo Babalola

Make no mistake about it. RUGA is still alive and, in social media parlance, loading. What the government has done is to slap on it a human face in the National Livestock Transformation Programme .

Like mythical creatures, like hybrid governments. Perhaps, more than anything else, the mishandling of Nigeria’s malignant herdsmen crisis exemplifies the duplicitous nature of the present administration. The other component is ranching. It is quite obvious that the present NLTP ranching initiative has Fulani pastoralists as its focus. To be fair, and that it may not be seen merely as RUGA with a make-up, it needs to be clearly stated and promoted with equal fervour that the government also plans to support states and private investors that are interested in setting up non-Fulani-populated ranches. What is good for the goose, they say, is good for the gander.

This government’s charming face in person of our amiable VP has again been effectively utilised to douse the RUGA fire. With such pedigree however, it will be foolhardy for anti-RUGA campaigners to entirely lower their guards simply because our likable son is in charge of NLTP.
