Breaking osinbajo govs meet in aso rock over ruga
It appears you're referring to a recent meeting between Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and Governors of Nigeria at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, specifically regarding the Ruga settlement program.
For those who may not be aware, the Ruga settlement program is a federal government initiative aimed at establishing cattle ranches across the country to address the perennial conflicts between farmers and herders. The program has been met with controversy and resistance from some states, particularly in the southern region, who are concerned about the potential impact on their land and resources.
According to reports, the meeting between Osinbajo and the governors was called to discuss the Ruga program and address concerns raised by the governors. The Vice President is said to have assured the governors that the program is not intended to displace any community or take away their land, but rather to promote peaceful coexistence between farmers and herders.
Some of the key issues discussed during the meeting include:
- Land allocation: The governors expressed concerns about the allocation of land for the Ruga settlements, with some calling for a more consultative approach.
- Compensation: The governors sought clarification on the compensation package for affected communities and individuals.
- Security: The governors emphasized the need for adequate security measures to prevent conflicts and ensure the success of the program.
- Implementation: The governors requested more information on the implementation plan, including the timeline and budget for the program.
The meeting was seen as an important step towards addressing the concerns and misgivings surrounding the Ruga program. However, the controversy surrounding the program is unlikely to be resolved anytime soon, given the strong emotions and conflicting interests involved.
