He said; “RUGA is just a Rural Grazing Area.
“It has been conceived long time ago to bring into one place nomads and their animals for permanent settlement with all the necessary provision of pasture and grazing to improve animal husbandry.
‘’It still remains the best option for settling nomads in a permanent abode and enhance livestock production in the country,’’ the governor said.
