Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State has again called on the Federal Government to institute a probe into contracts awarded for the establishment of Ruga settlements in parts of the country.
The Governor made the call on Thursday while declaring open the National Executive Council, NEC meeting and General Assembly of the Christian Association of Nigeria CAN, taking place in Makurdi.
He said though majority of Nigerians rejected Ruga, the contracts had already been awarded, saying it is however the right of the people to know what became of the funds.
Governor Ortom emphasized that Benue was the first to reject the concept of Ruga because it was deceptive and against the interest of people of the state who are predominantly farmers.
