Amarachi1990:
Zamfara State Governor, Bello Matawalle has said that the state would implement the Ruga settlement initiative to resettle herders and boost economic activities.

The governor told the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajiamila who visited the state that the state government would go ahead with the programme in spite of its suspension by the Federal Government.

“I wish to inform the Honourable Speaker that the controversial issue of Ruga, which is being hotly debated across the vast spectrum of the federation, has been unanimously accepted in our state.

“Since time immemorial, the communities of farmers and herders in the state have been living side by side, reinforcing each other, even though there were cases of skirmishes from time to time, they did not take the ugly dimension they have taken in our contemporary times.  “We are confident that Ruga Programme which will transform the nomads to sedentary life will significantly address the farmer/herder crisis in the state,” he said.

The governor said arrangements had been put in place to set up the Ruga settlement on a 100-hectare land in each of the three senatorial districts of the state. According to him, the government would provide schools, hospitals and veterinary clinics as well as earth dams in the new settlements.

He appealed to the leadership of the National Assembly to facilitate the release of N10 billion Federal Government Special Intervention Fund approved for the state to resettle people displaced by banditry. The speaker hailed Matawalle over the successes recorded under the Peace and Reconciliation Initiative targeted at ending banditry in the state. He noted that the voluntary release of 109 kidnap victims in the last 10 days was highly commendable and an indication that all sides were willing to give peace a chance.

That's a nice, at least that's where it belong for they have enough land for that and I suppose the cattles will do better in that climate...Hope they will soon convert if not the whole of SAMBISA too to A RUGA SETTLEMENT....

anyimontana:
Good for them.
Eastern part no get even a plot to offer,even waterlogged land no dey

you are highly mouthed

grandstar:
The question we need to ask is if 300 hectares is suffucient. I somehow doubt it.

With the population explosion unabating and land getting scarcer, there needs a serious overhaul in the way cattle is reared.

Ranching is not be enough and is at best a short term solution

Lands only seem Scarce in the South, East and West not North haba....only Sambisa and Niger state almost big pass the 3 other regions.

All these people hope they will not move to Abuja after their tenure sha. If the people of Zamfara are okay with it.... I salute them on their achievement of RUGA

Good to see that a bovine does post on nairaland

Combinng RUGA with widespread banditry would overwhelm him.

Yes, localize it; don’t force it on the entire nation.

Meanwhile, Gov. Matawalle of Zamfara State is a PDP member; also, Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi and Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa, both PDP members, have also publicly supported establishment of Ruga in their states. Are these guys straying from PDP’s position?

NextGovernor:
They will not approve 100 hectare for hospital, school and industries but quick to approve for cows.

I am not trying to be tribalistic here but my Northern brothers gat to wake up. They are still in the 17th century.

Spot on bro

Don't mind the hypocrite

omaigala:


Don't mind the hypocrite

My brother, RUGA has exposed all of them. All along, I thought that dude was from South West...

These Northerners have taken the disunity within the Igbos and Yorubas ad used it as a tool.

Very good
