The Bola Ahmed Tinubu lead federal government of Nigeria, recently inuagurated renewed hope national livestock transformation plan implementation committee & created ministry of livestock transformation and development
These actions has aggravated the fears of many Nigerians that RUGA is making its way back again into the Nigeria polity. RUGA is the embattled obnoxious policy of Muhammadu Buhari’s administration, through which the federal government seek ownership of lands abutting rivers, for grazing routes and settlement of Fulani herders. RUGA eventually metamorphosed into National Livestock Transformation Plan in it’s bid to gain acceptance.
Now that it is making its way back through the back door; its imperative for keen observers to connect the dots, from key recent events in Nigeria.
In a recent statement by Abubakar Kyari, the minister of agriculture & food security. The minister announced strategic measures to tackle rising cost of foods in Nigeria; which includes, fast-tracking the ongoing engagement with the Nigerian military regarding Defense Farm Scheme of the Nigeria military.
Now connect these with the recent supreme court judgement that granted fiscal autonomy to local governments in Nigeria and make you inference.
