The Commissioner for Information, Mr. Aka Eze Aka, refutes claims of RUGA establishment in Uzo Uwani LGA, denouncing them as politically motivated distortions aimed at undermining the government’s efforts.

In a statement titled “Ranch is Not RUGA,” Mr. Aka emphasizes the government’s commitment to modernizing cattle rearing practices to curb criminal activities associated with herders while safeguarding the interests of all stakeholders.

Highlighting the government’s resolve to implement controlled ranching, the statement outlines plans to designate specific grazing areas, manage ranches, and establish modern abattoirs for meat processing and distribution.

Governor Peter Mbah’s vision to transform Enugu’s economy and address insecurity through agricultural development underscores the administration’s commitment to converting ungoverned spaces into productive assets, creating agricultural/agro-processing zones across the state.

The government urges citizens to discern the true intentions behind its initiatives and rejects attempts to sow discord through misinformation, affirming that ranches are a progressive step towards sustainable development and security enhancement in Enugu State.
