Governor Wike: Rivers Has No Land For Herdsmen, Ruga Settlement by MGab25(op): 10:53am On Jul 06, 2019
Governor Wike said no Part Of Rivers can be used for Ruga Settlement.

According to Governor Wike, all Rivers States can offer is that the Federal Government is allowed to lay pipes from the Bonny Ocean to the far north to provide water for the herdsmen.

Governor Wike also noted that Lands in Rivers State are for Commercial agriculture.

Governor wike assured that no part of the state would be given to herdsmen when he received the founder and president of Throne-Room Trust Ministries, Apostle Nuhu Kure, at the Government House in Port Harcourt.

Governor Wike also noted that Rivers State won't participate in any programme meant for the Herdsmen, no matter the name given to it by the Federal Government.

“If they want water for the cattle, they can lay pipes from the Bonny Ocean to the far north for their cattle, that is what we can contribute. We don’t have lands for any settlement scheme, our land is for commercial agriculture,” he said.

Ruga settlement is a rural settlement in which animal farmers/herders stay in a designated place provided with basic amenities such as schools, hospitals, road networks, veterinary clinics, markets and others. However, the initiative has elicited nationwide controversy.

Israel is raising high quality herds for milk and beef in desert areas, so the core North have no excuse. Whatever resources have been earmarked for Ruga should be spread across the states and let each state train its indigenes on best practices on raising cows for milk and beef, adopting zero grazing.

Men putting Human lives at stake.

Am not surorised, A Wike is not mentally stable and incapacitated to be logical that the resolution made by His Excellence, President Mohammadu Buhari (GCFR), was the only and spot-on way to go in solving conflicts and National security threats, In the best interest of The Federal Republic of Nigeria.

If he was asked about insecurity then he would have responded adequately and you would have read about his response too but he was asked about the so called RUGA crap and his response was more than adequate.
Re: Governor Wike: Rivers Has No Land For Herdsmen, Ruga Settlement by Toscarel: 3:27pm On Jul 06, 2019
..Wike is on point like a needle for this one, this RUGa crap doesnt even deserve half plot of scrap they should go to hell with that idea, first was Colony then this one, government money you use to invest in this should be use in developing modern means of farming not all these archaic excuses in order to grab land
nonsense and land thieves
