RUGA is best option to settle nomads permanently —Bagudu.
Governor Atiku Bagudu of Kebbi State says the RUGA settlement programme remains the best option for settling nomads in a permanent abode and enhance livestock production in the country.
Bagudu made the statement while conducting journalists round some Fulani settlements in Jega Local Government Area on Tuesday. “RUGA is just a Rural Grazing Area. It was conceived a long time ago to bring into one place nomads and their animals for permanent settlement, with all the necessary provision of pasture and grazing to improve animal husbandry. “It still remains the best option for settling nomads in a permanent abode and enhance livestock production in the country,’’ the governor said.
