The Federal Government announced the launch of the Pulaku Initiative to address farmer-herder conflicts in seven states.
Led by Vice President Shettima, the initiative aims to revitalize conflict-torn communities with housing, infrastructure, and support for affected individuals.
Initiated eight months after plans were unveiled by President Tinubu’s administration, the initiative seeks to foster sustainable development and inclusivity.
The steering committee, chaired by Minister Ahmed Dangiwa, includes representatives from relevant government agencies and stakeholders.
Governors of the beneficiary states express optimism about the program’s potential to reduce insecurity and support agricultural development.
They anticipate tactical support for farmers and infrastructure development, expecting a significant impact on curbing insecurity and providing housing for displaced individuals.
The Pulaku Initiative is a national commitment to confront a threat that has fueled distrust and conflicts within communities. It aims to provide a practical response to a shared challenge, casting aside divisive regionalism.
The committee, chaired by Minister Ahmed Dangiwa, comprises representatives of governors of the benefiting states and stakeholders from various sectors.
