| Meeting with Elders of Bui Village | ||||||||||||||||
![]() |
BPA officials held a meeting with the elders of Bui village during which, it became clear that the four villages resettled at Jama resettlement camp are not indigenes of bui village lands, but rather migrants who, upon permission came to settle to either fish or farm and did not make any payments for their settlement including the building of houses and cultivation of farms. |

These migrants’ farmers only gave the land owners some tubers of yam and fowls at end of each farming season. The fishermen on the other hand, gave bowls of fish to the land owners based on prearranged conditions. Thus the migrants do not own any land of their own and therefore are not entitled to any form of land compensation due to the Bui project. However, land owners of people of Jama and the people of Bui will be compensated for portions of their lands that have been affected by the Bui dam construction. The elders of Bui village wanted to know when they will be resettled, and when compensation for their cashew trees would be paid and also whether the paramount chief of Bui City will be the chief of Bui village.
