Enugu State Government has refuted claims that it plans to establish a Ruga settlement in Uzo-Uwani Local Government Area of the state.

In9ja.com, gathered that residents of Nimbo Community have protested against the state government’s plan to establish Ruga in their community for herdsmen after they had invaded and killed 40 people in the community.

But, the state government in a statement on Saturday, confirmed that it was planning to establish modern ranches as part of its agro-industrial productivity agenda to turn the state’s dormant assets into productive assets.

For clarity, Ruga entails the settlement of animals by farmers in an organised place with the provision of necessary amenities.
