What RUGA means to Matawalle vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
ZAMFARA State was carved out of the old Sokoto State 23 years ago. Largely agrarian, it stood out as an agricultural hub for the whole of the North West Zone with 70 per cent of its populace living and farming in rural areas. Prior to its elevated position of a state, Zamfara was a proud producer of grains of high quality due mainly to its rich fertile soil encased between sedimentary rocks.
Thank God Almighty, we are now in celebratory mood that a responsible and responsive government is in place, which came about through divine intervention. Zamfara of today is unlike what it was eight years ago; eight years of neglect, indecision and misgovernance.
Bandits and cattle rustlers were on countless murderous campaigns to illegally exploit the precious metals the state is endowed with. The gory details of what transpired is a subject of another day. What is of importance for us here is how Matawalle has hit the ground running since he assumed the mantle of leadership of the state on May 29 this year. At various fora he stated his resolve to end the unending farmer-herder crises once and for all.
For the promotion of healthy living the RUGA initiative will provide a 30-bed hospital and a veterinary clinic for livestock vaccination. The state-of-the-art hospital shall consists of a surgery, pharmacy, laboratory, a theater and an antenatal, women and children departments. Commerce will also enjoy a pride of place within this 100-hectare land to be boosted with 140 lock-up and open shops.
