We have land in Yoruba land so they should come. We have advanced today and know not to sell the land. 25, 50, 100 year lease will soon up and our land will be worth thousands of times more. In the meantime, jobs would have been created as we impose modern farming on their asses. If you have an idea what they feed you in cattle today, you'd pay the government to impose on them.

The governor added, “I don’t believe any state is under threat of its land being taken over for this purpose. Governors have exclusive preserve over the land within their states jurisdiction. This is a storm in a teacup.”

The Federal Government originally planned to have the controversial Ruga settlements in every part of the country and not only in 11 states.

But the Chairman of Nigeria Governors Forum and Ekiti Governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, said the Ruga initiative had been blown out of proportion.

There are strong indications on Saturday that members of the main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party, may call for the investigation into the Federal Government sponsored Ruga projects for Fulani herdsmen across the country.

We learnt on Saturday that funding arrangements, as well as other things that would ensure a seamless operation of the settlements, were still being discussed.

Senior officials of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, who had earlier given one of our correspondents the names of states where the settlements were currently being perfected, stated that the affected states and the Federal Government were still discussing many other issues about the settlements, including funding.

The source said, “Generally, it is a policy conceived by the Federal Government to cover the entire country. But the government decided to discuss it with the states and said states that are willing should indicate interest.

“Of course, the Federal Government is going to carry the states that are interested along. It is mainly between the Federal Government and the interested states, discussions are still ongoing and we can’t give a final figure on funding now.

“But we are surprised at the political undertone that this issue is having. Why will a group from Benue stage a protest that government wants to invade their land?”

Umar also said the state governments that indicated interest had been visiting the ministry to get details about the initiative, as discussions were still ongoing to perfect the scheme.

He said, “Already state and local governments are buying into the initiative. Many states have indicated interest. They have been coming to the ministry and stated their interest to join to ensure that we set up Ruga settlements in their states so that their nomads will have a place. They will also have cattle markets and modern abattoirs in their states.”

On May 21, 2019, the immediate past Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Chief Audu Ogbeh, announced that Buhari approved the Ruga settlement initiative earlier in the same month.

No state can be forced to surrender land, says Fayemi

Fayemi, while responding to an inquiry from one of our correspondents via a text message, said the initiative had nothing to do with the NGF, stressing that issues surrounding land use were at the discretion of respective governors.

He said, “The so-called Ruga initiative has nothing to do with NGF. We have never discussed this and none of my colleagues has raised the matter in my period in office.”

Fayemi said no state could be forced to surrender land within its jurisdiction and as such there was no cause for alarm.

The governor added, “I don’t believe any state is under threat of its land being taken over for this purpose. Governors have exclusive preserve over the land within their states jurisdiction. This is a storm in a teacup.”

PDP senators to demand probe

They described as unfair any action by the Federal Government to take over other people’s land for the establishment of herdsmen settlements with billions from the national treasury, promising to initiate probe into the project.

He said, “We have to study the provisions in the 2019 budget and see whether the Fulani herdsmen settlements projects were adequately captured in it. We will know what to do if the project was captured in the budget or not. But definitely, we should look into it.”

Meanwhile, the Federal Government has allocated the sum of N2.26bn in the 2019 budget for the development of national grazing reserves.

The amount is contained in the 2019 budget signed into law by the President on May 28.

Specifically, the N2.26bn is contained under the budget of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.

All this Ruga settlement plan is being used by governors of states in the southern part of Nigeria to bargain for good name in the books of President Buhari to enable them get political opportunity especially as President Buhari will be handing over to a new government in 2023.

The federal government should be careful with this Ruga settlement even in the northern part of Nigeria so as not to plant long term problems in the participating state.

Settling strangers in another man's land has security, cultural and religious implications.

Even though the Nigeria constitution allow Nigerian to live in any parts of Nigeria to transact business. The clause should not be overstretched as hosting community do not want troublemakers or killers herdsmen that will disturb the peace in their land.

In this case, the traditional rulers of the hosting state should be carried along in the settlement plan.

Yes Like Ur reasoning
Teewhy2:
Grazing is a private business and not government business, so they shouldn't force people to surrender their land to a particular set of people.
If government is interested in collecting land for business and entrepreneurs. I will like to say am also an entrepreneur and need a land in Abuja, the government should help me as well.

SW voted for APC massively and together with the north,has been in the fore-front of excluding SE from any Government policy,claiming we put all 'our eggs in one basket'

Therefore SW should get the chunk of the RUGA policy for voting APC not just dreaming of a 2023 presidency as a reward for their 'loyality'

The SE says a massive NO to RUGA policy in the East!

SE didn't vote for APC, so we don't deserve their Next Level Ruga project.

Since they don't consider worthy to hold a post at 9th NASS, we won't cede an inch of territory to their Ruga bullshitt.

If they impose on any of land, we would burn both the cow and the terrorists.

SW voted for Next Level, so they should top the list of beneficiary states.

Of course, they claim they are accommodators, so big deal accommodating some cows in their land.



Because of this nonsense,

Ruga? There is no electricity in Nigeria. Ruga settlement for Fulani all over Nigeria remains the preoccupation of the old and poorly educated man we have as leader.

Ruga is waste of money. Build it and leave, youths shall demolish it immediate.

Cattle Colony , Ranching , grazing reserves, and ruga setlements , different nomenclature but the same mission. My questions:
1.why Federal government is extended so much money to actualized this mission if nothing is fishing.
2. Why herdsmen farmers clashes don't happen in the core north, but only in middle belt and South?

Unlike us, we don't need any stupid governor to set agenda for the East.

We have already given them an agenda to pursue. No RUGA in the East or we would burn them with the cows.

We APC doesn't consider us worthy of anything in their evil party. No qualms.

They should take their RUGA to SW that voted for them.

Ebonyi governor will certainly embrace this Ruga. I don't trust that man.
