"Ruga is not Fulani but an idea of British colonialists" — Gov. Atiku Bagudu of Kebbi state.



"Then take your accursed cows to BREXIT Britain and do your RUGA there!"

Gov Bagudu had in an interview with The Tribune Online said Ruga is an acronym created by the British colonialists which means 'Rural Grazing Area'.


He said, "Ruga is an acronym created by the colonialists. It means Rural Grazing Area. In Birnin-Kebbi, at least, we have 20 Rugas around.

"That is where the Fulani live. The idea that was developed was that for the states that have this anthropology, let us help them, so that the Fulani living in those settlements can have water and veterinary services.

"We can teach their women to make yoghurt out of milk, rather than walk seven kilometres to the market to sell N600 worth of milk. This is to ensure they can stay in one place.
