ORTOMATIC AGENTS UNDER 17 BACKS BENUE STATE GOVERNMENT POSITION ON THE REJECTION OF “RUGA” SETTLEMENT IN THE STATE. 

On behalf of the Coordinator and members of our group, ORTOMATIC AGENTS UNDER 17, one of the rising and enthusiastic PDP ORTOMATIC Social Media group of prolific young writers and pen Lords. We wish to throw our weight behind the sound decision of the Benue State Government to reject the proposed RUGA settlement for herdsmen by the Federal Government in the State.
In a statement made available to news men , the group upheld the position of the government luminous on the Ruga settlements for herdsmen in the state.
According to them, establishment of RUGA settlement for herdsmen by federal government is a gross violation of the Anti Open Grazing Law and instigation of violence in the state.
The group described the move by the Buhari led Federal Government for the establishment of RUGA in the State as a modified form of cattle Colonies in the State aimed at dispossesing the Benue citizens of their ancestral lands for inward allocation to Fulan herdsmen which must be vehemently rejected by all right thinking Benue sons and daughters.
They also opined that, Benue State is an agrarian State and therefore have no land for the establishment of RUGA as proposed by the Federal Government.
It will be recalled that, the Director, Federal Ministry of Agriculture with his team in Benue State informed officials of the State Ministry of Agriculture that he had received directives from the Ministry’s headquarters Abuja to establish Ruga which means ‘Fulani settlement’ in some parts of the State.
The Director identified the local government areas selected for the Ruga settlements in the state to be Otukpo, Tarka and Ukum.
Finally, we are calling on the international community to intervene and call president Buhari to order before he drag the country into anarchy.
