“Ranching has also been adopted by the National Livestock Policy of the Buhari administration. “What is now left is for the immediate implementation of the ranching programme”.
Falana believed that RUGA was suddenly introduced from the blues by some fifth columnists in the administration.
He contended: “RUGA should not just be suspended but cancelled completely by the federal government. It should be replaced with ranching funded by state governments and individual stakeholders with the assistance of the federal government.
“However if the federal government is interested in establishing ranches in the states, it should apply for building approval from the state governments because the supreme court has held that physical planning is not in the exclusive legislative list”, he added.
