I'm Not Happy With The Manner In Which Fulani Are Treated In The Country.
Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, on Saturday said the Federal Government’s Ruga programme should not be implemented where indigenes are not Fulani.
On the suspended Ruga programme, he said it should be optional for states.
Ganduje in his statement, said the initiative shouldn't have been made by the Federal Government, rather states interested in the economic relevance of Fulani herdsmen.
Not Happy With The Manner In Which Fulani Are Treated In The Country. Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, spoke while his was addressing journalists in Sokoto after attending the wedding of the son of a former governor of Kano State, Senator Kabiru Gaya.
He also said, I think the suspended programme was really misunderstood. Ruga is supposed to be for a state where Fulani reside; you cannot implement Ruga where the indigenes are not Fulani.
The programme should be for those states that will cater for Fulani and the issue of herdsmen should be socio-economic in nature and not a socio-cultural.
That is why in Kano State, we decided to develop a grazing area in form of Ruga where Fulani herdsmen will all live in one place and can be monitored.
They will get other social services that are being provided for the people of Kano State, which include health, security and education.
Not only that, their businesses would be improved upon so that their cattle can produce more nutritious milk for the people
