Ruga:Borno State Govt Promises Implementation In Multiple Locations,Blasts critics
Borno State Government, on Tuesday said it will key into the Federal Government’s Rural Grazing Area (RUGA) to curb farmers/herders clash in the state.

Gov. Babagana Zulum told newsmen at the Agricultural Resource Team Farm in Konduga Local Government Area that multiple locations will be provided for the scheme.

Umara said that the scheme was rejected by some states due to misconception of the programme.

“The scheme is to provide a place where farmers and herders will leave in the same place and graze and farm which will reduce or totally eliminate clashes”, NAN quoted him as saying.

“We have identified six different locations we considered safe for the pilot scheme in the state.

“The RUGA scheme is as old as history, is not a new thing. I don’t know why some people are politicising it.

“We are going to provide them with security and other necessary facilities. RUGA settlement will greatly reduce farmers/herders clashes”.

Malam Musa Kubo, the Chairman, Borno state Agricultural Resource Team, said the body had identified Gambole Cattle Range and other game reserves to be used to pilot the RUGA scheme.

“We had a meeting with members of Al Haya, Miyeti Allah, directors from Ministry of Agriculture and other stakeholders and agreed on the identified areas,” he disclosed.

Good for borno. They have the whole sambisa forest

Next Level. Expand towards sambisa too.
Kano,
Katsina
Sokoto
Bauchi
Kebbi
And the rest should follow suit.
By the time 10 core northern States will subscribes with multiple branches, there wouldn't be need to travel down south again.

Nice

Who would thought herders,bandits and bokoharam can agree to co exist with farmers under RUGA in sambisa.
These are they kind of ppl we need in borno state.

Waten even concern south with cows

They can implement it in quadruple locations if they want
There is enough space in sambisa forest
