FG Sets Up Farm Settlements For Herdsmen by Priscy01(f): 5:18pm On Jun 25, 2019 |
The Federal Government said on Tuesday that it had begun to establish “Ruga Settlements” for herdsmen in 12 pilot states nationwide, Igbere TV reports. Alh. Mohammadu Umar, the Permanent Secretary in the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, made this known in an interview in Abuja on Tuesday on the sidelines of a workshop on Regional Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) and associated legislation in West Africa. He said that the farm settlements when fully established would address the incessant clashes between Fulani cattle rearers and farmers. Umar explained that the pilot programme had already commenced on a 31,000-hectare in Kotongora, Niger state. According to him, the required facilities for a basic life and treatment of cattle are being provided to enhance productivity. He said that the government would replicate the programme in selected states as work “is ongoing in the 12 pilot states”. According to him, six settlements will be established in each of the pilot states. Umar, who added that the centres would be expanded and adequately equipped, and assured the beneficiaries that government would do all that was necessary to enlighten the herdsmen on how the use of ranches could make make cattle rearing more profitable. He said that the government would sensitise the herdsmen to the social and political benefits derivable from such settlements. The permanent secretary explained that various spots would be established for the pastoralists to be able to milk their cows. He also said that dispensaries would be established to prevent the misuse of antibiotics.

but cattle’s rearing is not Government business like oil and gas. That means i can start a business and start killing people, raping and demanding for their land and the FG will respond positively. killing must be very lucrative 167 Likes 15 Shares |

Umar, who added that the centres would be expanded and adequately equipped, and assured the beneficiaries that government would do all that was necessary to enlighten the herdsmen on how the use of ranches could make make cattle rearing more profitable.This is how it is done in saner climes. We remembered how we used to live as brothers as sisters in our darling nation with these same Fulani herdsmen. The times we gave water and food to herdsmen journeying across the nation as they go on their business peacefully, Just with their sticks and kettles for their prayers, that was all before the evil and criminal minded politicians begun sponsoring some of them for evil because they want to remain in power forever. Nigeria will be great again in our lifetime in Jesus name! Lanre4uonly:So be it......truly! Neoteny:Amen. God bless you. God bless Nigeria. Benekruku:A BIG AMEN. And our father too o! ![]() God bless you and yours too sir! Modify: For Sane Nigerians alone...not wailers and enemies of the country that thrive with bad news concerning their nation, These pictures below will make you understand what the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT is trying to do. It's time for a new beginning in our nation. 19 Likes 6 Shares

Optional09: But the peace of this country, and the security of farmers and herdsmen is this government's business... And if it does not make it its business...our country would look like one horror anarchy zone. Rwanda and Somalia in the early 1990's would look like paradises in contrast. I just hope they establish them in the North...and also improve our railways system...so that cows can be transported to markets by rail. Not by foot. 11 Likes 1 Share |

Let them buy their own farmland. This is a private business and they have enough money to buy land! Once the trains start working again, they can ship cows from farm to market by train. 34 Likes 3 Shares |

This government is one hell of useless one. So Herdsmen matter, a private sector business, is more important than creating jobs and industry in Nigeria for graduates to find place eh? My area has turned into a market by force cos women are taking up spaces at the junction to feed their families, many of them with husband that lost their jobs. 5 Likes 3 Shares |

How is it government business to set up settlements for herdsmen? Unless the government will charge them for using the settlements and the facilities therein. By the way, how much tax do these herdsmen pay to the government? 11 Likes |

Story for the gods go tell that to your fellow almanjiri. Let them remain in the north and by way nobody care as per more cattle production there are alternative meat to beef Mr man.

I'm sure Nigeria don't have more cows than the United States and we don't hear things like farmer - herder crisis. We just like trouble in this country. Even the herdsmen seems to be more interested in trouble than face their business. 8 Likes 1 Share |
