Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom has called on the Federal Government to dump the controversial idea of the proposed Fulani settlements.
Instead, he urged President Muhammadu Buhari to seek solutions to the issues of desert encroachment and lack of sufficient vegetation.
According to him, those issues are responsible for the movements of nomadic herdsmen in the country.
He spoke yesterday at the 43rd Annual Conference of the Soil Science Society of Nigeria at the Federal University of Agriculture, (FUAM) Makurdi, the state capital.
Ortom, who was represented by his deputy, Benson Abounu, recommended what was done in Israel, where a complete desert was transformed into a rich agricultural hub that now feeds the rest of the world.
