Osinbajo kick-starts livestock transformation plan
VICE-PRESIDENT Yemi Osinbajo on Tuesday inaugurated the National Livestock Transformation Plan in Adamawa State.The ceremony held at the Gongoshi Grazing Reserve in Mayo-Belwa Local Government Area.
A lot of controversy had trailed the introduction of the programme with many residents insinuating that the NLTP is another name for Ruga Settlement scheme, which has long been discarded by the Federal Government. Inscriptions on the placards included ‘No settlement for non-cattle Fulani’ and ‘No to mobile livestock husbandry’; others warned against allowing non-indigenous Fulani herders to benefit from the programme meant for the state.
Governor Ahmadu Fintiri also assured the residents that the NLTP has nothing to do with Ruga but a project he was convinced has the answers to perennial clashes between herdsmen and farmers.
