The Federal Government has said it would commence the Pulaku Initiative, a large-scale resettlement programme to address the causes of clashes between farmers and herders in various flashpoints nationwide.

Pulaku also called the “Fulani code of conduct,” is an integral cultural and ethical value system specific to the Fulanis.

The programme will initially focus on seven states affected by farmers-herders conflicts.

A statement signed by the Senior Special Assistant on Media and Communications to the Vice President, Stanley Nkwocha, confirmed the pilot states as Sokoto, Kebbi, Benue, Katsina, Zamfara, Niger, and Kaduna.
