Kebbi State Governor Atiku Bagudu has declared 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 has been conceived 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.
He gave assurance that his administration would continue to provide basic amenities to all Fulani settlements in the state.
