By Samuel Nwite

The Rural Grazing Area (Ruga) settlement initiative by the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) is bringing more chaos than the supposed tranquility. Many Nigerians have taken to social media to register their displeasure over the development with hashtags such as #SayNoToRuga and plan to take to the streets on Friday. There are so far three types of Nigerians involved in the sagacious development.

Those in support of Ruga
Those not in support
Those who don’t know what Ruga is. Upon this triad, the Ruga row rests. But the third category beckons the responsibility to explain.
What is Ruga?
About a week before the Federal Executive Council (FEC) handed over, precisely on May 19th, it sat and discussed Ruga settlement for herdsmen in the 36 states across the federation. In the end of the meeting, multi-million naira contracts were approved in favor of the Ruga settlement. In defense of this decision, the ministry of agriculture issued a statement saying that Ruga is part of NLTP (National Livestock Transformation Plan).

In 2017, when the Nigerian vice president, Prof. Yomi Osinbajo was serving in the capacity of acting president, he used his office and position as the chairman of National Economic Council (NEC) to seek a solution for the incessant crisis between farmers and herdsmen that has resulted in loss of so many lives and property.

To achieve his aim of lasting peace, he started making wide consultations with service chiefs, governors, and whoever has something to offer. It lasted for about two years, and then in 2019, his efforts gave birth to a plan named National Livestock Transformation Plan (NLTP).

So when the ministry of agriculture attached Ruga to NLTP, that is evident of its headship by the vice president, it drew outrage and regional condemnations. The wobbling table holding the implementation of Ruga got messier when the association of cattle breeders, Miyetti Allah, added voice to the statement of the ministry of agriculture, that “Ruga is part of NLTP,” forcing the vice president to refute the claim, stating that Ruga is never part of NLTP.

(The NLTP has 5 pillars that clearly identifies what its plan and strategies of executing them are. The 5 pillars are:

Conflict Resolution
Justice and Peace
Humanitarian Relief & early Recovery
Human Capital Development
Cross Cutting Issues.
Ruga is not in any way mentioned or attached to these pillars of priority areas. The main goal was to foster federal support in implementing the transformation of the livestock sector through the establishment of ranches, improved fodder production, economic investment into associated value chains, and importantly, compensating those affected by the violence for their losses.)

Unprecedented uproar ensued, with the South-East and South-South Governors vehemently refusing the Ruga settlement plan, those in the South West were divided, and so it is in the North. This is one of the reasons: According to the land use act of 1977, all land in a state is the custody of the Governor on behalf of the people. Apart from few areas where the FGN has exclusive jurisdiction over, areas like lands for rail line, seaport, airport etc. In view of this, the Ruga settlement seems more like a land grabbing invasion by the FG, which is instigating curious concerns.

The words on the streets and social media were that the FGN is on nepotistic land grabbing mission. A “misconception” that the FGN tried to clear through the issued statement that explained what Ruga is all about and how the governments plan to make it happen. According to the statement, ‘Ruga settlement’ is a provisional rural settlement for migrant pastoral families. Its aim is to provide them with 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.

In the light of the insecurity and threat posed by open grazing, the FGN sees it as a means to achieve peaceful coexistence between herders, farmers, and their host communities. The statement also added that participation by state governments is voluntary. So far, there have been 12 states that indicated interest in piloting Ruga through the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, and that’s enough to start with.

Although the statement explained so many things about Ruga, it didn’t calm the protests. There were suspicious loopholes, and it didn’t take a while to figure them out. For instance, Benue state has for long distanced itself from any programme that requires giving out land for cattle rearing, but to everyone’s surprise, it’s one of the 12 states said to have indicated interest. In fact, the FGN, through the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, has contracted Clear Sky Broad Band Ventures Limited to execute the Grazing Reserve Project at Otobi road, Oturkpo, before the Ministry of Agriculture wrote to the Benue state government seeking approval for the project.

More to that, the opinion that has strongly opposed the Ruga development is that Cattle Rearing is a private venture just like every other privately owned business that runs in Nigeria. And it’s wrong for the FGN and states to spend taxpayers money funding private business, especially when there is no provision for that in the budget. The funding depends on the volunteered states and FGN. Each of the states is expected to provide N5billion and the FGN will match up the money. So for the 11 states that have volunteered so far (Benue excluded) N55 billion is expected. The more states indicate interest, the more funds the Ruga settlement plan will have.

What the presidency failed to explain in its statement is where Ruga emerged from. Since evidently it’s not part of NLTP that the vice president and NEC approved, or if the presidency is abandoning the well-articulated NLTP all of a sudden to embrace Ruga without consulting NEC. NLTP was developed through wide consultations involving all the 36 Governors and every stakeholder that matters. For about 2 years, the vice president, Prof. Osinbajo got everyone on board, discussed parts and parcel of it, and in the end, everyone nodded in agreement, prompting the Governors to make provisional budgetary allocation for NLTP in their respective states. This is the ranching deal that Nigerians know about and expected to be implemented. There is belief that the FG has reneged on NLTP, trying to play smart on NEC and the office of the vice president.

The sudden emergence of Ruga is stoking a lateral polity that may eventually set gloom precedents. Disorderliness in the presidency is one of them, lack of trust in the government is another, and more dangerously, the tendency of corporations or business associations constituting a menace just to get the government to dance to their tone.

The office of the president through FEC and the office of the vice president through NEC seem to be in disagreement regarding the best way to solve the farmer/herder crisis. And they are washing their dirty undies in the public.

The people are seeing more reasons to cling to their space of distrust in their relationship with the government. “Don’t believe anything they tell you” is a common sentence with a bitter meaning among Nigerians. It connotes the belief that there is a coated evil in every of government’s plans. Therefore, they should not be trusted even when there is an explanation to their actions.

Most Nigerians believe that the federal government is being economical in the way it’s handling the herder/farmer crisis to the favor of herdsmen. A few or no one has been brought to book, even though the crisis has taken thousands of lives. In 2018 alone, about 2000 deaths were attributed to Fulani herdsmen, and the number keeps counting even in 2019. While the government is yielding to the yearnings of the herdsmen, from funding to settlement, it appears that the government is negotiating its way out of a hostage situation: a predicament with a negative futuristic precedent. The premonition tendency that any other business group or association may violently force the government to bend to their wishes cannot be ignored. If the antecedents are not curtailed, it will become a detrimental norm that the future will hold against the present.

Lol did you just come back from the land of the dead or you don't have Internet data even though you're not in Ondo State? Saying Aketi does not have any single achievement after 2 years despite his infrastructural and Industrial revolution in Ondo State shows you have a lot of catching up to do my friend. Let me quickly bring you up to speed. This is a Governor who has constructed more roads in his 2 years than 8years of his predecessor. He has reconstructed over 700 Public Primary Schools across the 3 senatorial districts of the state. Do you know that about 5 industries initiated by his administration are about to begin full operations soon? All these while paying Salaries as and when due.

stop this stupid lie or else thunder go strike you,are you people mad ,you think Ondo state people are full of fools,please kindly mention all the roads constructed by Aketi so far ,am here waiting ?

OndoFirstBorn:
Well done my Governor. This is Frugality with a mindset. It's 'Think Anew, Act Anew' season in Ondo State. Governor Akeredolu is setting a new standard for leadership in Nigeria. I wonder how he's able to clear backlog of salaries owed by the previous administration and still paying Salaries as and when due while constructing roads and reconstructing schools across the state despite the dwindling federal allocation. Nigerian Governors must take a lesson from Aketi's style of prudent leadership. Despite all the banana peels that have been thrown at my Governor, he just keeps working and coming up with fresh ideas to move Ondo State forward. He has refused to fall. This is the Aketi that destroyed the Iroko in Ondo State. May God continue to uphold you, our working governor.

which Iroko did he destroyed ? Was Mimiko a bad product that he is destroying or was the past administration a bad one,you need to be careful how you choose your words

Your serial attack on the person of the Governor says alot about the type of person you are. A vile and disgusting human being.

A governor who against all odd has been repositioning the state despite the huge mess he met in office, is a disappointment?

A governor who inherited 7 months arrears owed by the previous administration and has paid everything while paying workers as and when due, is highly incompetent? A governor whose investment drive has brought about 5 industries to the state, in less than 2½years in office. A governor who has constructed more roads within 2 years in office than his predecessors. A governor whose water initiative programme has been adopted by the Federal government. A governor who has reconstructed over 500 public schools within 2 years in office is a disappointment?

He's a disappointment because against all odds, he has been proving you naysayers, who thought he would fail, wrong. He has been working and delivering the dividend of democracy to the people of Ondo State despite you people’s serial campaign of calumny against him.

There's not been recruitment into Ondo Civil service in the last 10 years but recently Governor Akeredolu recruited 400 fresh hands into the state Board of Internal Revenue and also planning to recruit 2000 primary school teachers soon. You should apply so that you can get something doing with your life instead of this disappointment you're causing your family on social media. Selah

over 500 roads tori olorun,you stink Mr sowore

celeiyke:
Osun
Ekiti
Ondo
Zamfara

dod you understand the post at all Ondo as a city is quite popular,Zamfara is well know many people do t know gusau,Ekiti is well know in general ,even Aregbesola makes Osun as a state more popular doing his tenure

neolboy:
what are we going to say about Delta where some cities are popular than both the state and capital.


Warri, Sapele, Agbor, Ughelli, Ethiope, Oghara etc

In Ondo places like Ore, Owo, Ikare, Ifon and Akure are popular than the State.

In Oyo places like Ogbomosho, Sarki, Ikire are more popular than Oyo

In essence we can have as many cities that are more popular than the state itself

lol Ondo as a town is even more popular than Akure ,why are you saying , Ekiti people are refer as Ondo sometimes , the only popular town in Ondo state aside the main Ondo city is Ore ,Akure will be third

wirinet:
This is about the only time I agree with Bob Dee. Buhari is not the cause of the economic woes Nigeria is experiencing, it is a cumulative of poor economic management over the decades especially, the last administration, and the over reliance on crude as our only source of forex.

My grouse with Buhari is his inability to unite Nigerians. He is blind, deaf and dumb to the cries of other regions of the country, especially the South East. He only trust and favours his own tribesmen.

is never is forte means is never is speciality ,is never a thing he is good at

Imagine a modern space equipped with all modern tools to professionally and adequately diagnose your vehicles problems as well as produce professional vehicle technicians equipped with the best and most modern of tools right here in Nigeria? Well, this feat has been achieved in Osun where Nigeria’s only world class mechatronics institutes is located.

The Bola Ige Mechatronics Institute, BIMI, is one of Africa’s best mechatronics school, with none of its kind in Nigeria or sub-Saharan Africa for that matter.

According to the manager, Mr. Folosho Awogbami, BIMI is an intelligent auto-training institute established in honour of the late Chief Ajibola Idowu Adegoke Ige at Esa Oke, State of Osun.

The institute provides expert training for developing private sector competence in auto diagnostics and repair, facilitate a modern hi-tech environment to train the trainers, provide theoretical and practical setting for retaining local auto mechanics and serves as a test bed for raising auto remediation entrepreneurs.

Bola Ige Mechatronics Institute programmes covers every aspect of automobile technology which include the Powertrain engine (emission and ignition), and transmission, Body (immobilizer and intrusion controls; Steering electrics; supplementary restraint system; instrument cluster; HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air-conditioning), and climate control), Chassis (suspension electrics, ABS and break electrics) and Communication (CAN [Control Area Network], LIN (Local Interconnect Network), MOST (Media-Oriented System Transport), FlexRay and other vehicle inter-connecting networks).

Recall over 30 Osun indigenes were sent to Germany for a 2-month intensive training in May of 2014 by the Rauf Aregbesola led administration in the state. Subsequently, the government of Osun in partnership with a foreign agency and support from the National Automotive Council established the multimillion naira mechatronics institute.

Awogbami further noted that the institute was built with the best of equipment and software imported from Germany with continuous partnership to ensure time to time update.

“Our training facilities are interactive with our dynamic multimedia learning aid and real live components. All our Instructors are German-trained and well able to deliver the knowledge to the understanding of any categories of trainee irrespective of the literacy level.” Awogbami stated.

The institute has three computerised mechanical workshops for assembling and repair of various types of automobiles.

Honorable olubodun Tayo Marcus ,special adviser to the governor of Ondo state post this on his Facebook wall "In every adversity, there are opportunities. What matters is our attitude to life challenging situations. If u think u swim, u swim and if u think u sink, u sink" Mr. Barrack Obama. Some days ago, Linda Ikeji, the foremost blogger in Africa, posted my pictures on her wall where I was chilling in my hood with my pals @ an " exclusive Trophy baffday gig", with over 3 million views and 35,000 comments. Some negative, some positive but in all favourable. The PR Stunt caught the attention of the International Brewries, the maker of TROPHY, my preferred brand and I was invited to their office for a BIG THANK YOU and strategic talk on how to make the brand more popular among the youths in Ondo State and Nigeria at large leveraging on my "street credibility". Many thanks to my pals who stood by my when it was tough and big thanks to the detractors who wanted to make political gains out of my comic relief. HONOURABLE DRINKING HONOURABLE, KO SI BIG DEAL.
