Amidst controversies over the Federal Government’s suspended Ruga project, there are indications that the National Economic Council will soon meet on the National Livestock Transformation Plan.

The NLTP was approved by NEC and the Federal Government last year. It is a voluntary programme, which is aimed at rehabilitating internally displaced persons and developing ranches in any willing state of the federation.
The Senior Special Assistant to the Vice-President, Mr Laolu Akande, in an interview with one of our correspondents on Saturday, said interested states and the Federal Government were still discussing the NLTP.
Giving an update on the NLTP, Akande said states and the Federal Government had yet to conclude talks on the funding of the programme
He said, “The stage the plan is now is that the Federal Government and the interested states are finalising a lot of issues, including funding.
“There is a plan that will commit the Federal Government to be part of the funding and some states as well. Very soon, these issues will be sorted out.
“There will be a meeting of NEC very soon to look at all these issues as consultations are going on. So, we can’t put a date to the take-off time really yet.”
