These include the revival of <em>Operation Rainbow<\/em>, the prompt inauguration of the State Security Council, and the establishment of a modern security and information center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mutfwang thanked the media for its role in defending democracy, particularly during the legal battles that affirmed his mandate. He noted that balanced reportage helped shape fair perceptions about Plateau at a crucial moment in the state\u2019s political journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Highlighting his administration\u2019s achievements, he pointed to the ongoing construction of 380 kilometers of rural roads under the World Bank-assisted RAMP project and the completed Utong-Kong flyover. He also pledged sustained investment in roads, markets, agriculture, and industry to diversify Plateau\u2019s economy beyond federal allocations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On education, the governor said his administration had reduced tuition fees for indigenes by 50 percent, raised scholarship funding by 300 percent, and rescued struggling tertiary institutions, all in a bid to equip Plateau\u2019s youth for global competitiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Healthcare, he stressed, was also receiving renewed attention, citing upgrades at Plateau Specialist Hospital and an expansion of health insurance coverage from 93,000 to 208,000 enrollees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Agriculture, described as the backbone of the state\u2019s prosperity agenda, is being revitalised through partnerships with IITA Ibadan, the revival of BARC Farms, improved livestock breeds, feed production, and a planned modern abattoir with a 500-cattle daily capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The governor further highlighted renewed investor confidence in Plateau\u2019s tourism and hospitality sector, with redevelopment underway at Plateau Hotel, Hill Station Hotel, and Jos Wildlife Park through private-sector collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On employment, he pledged transparency in upcoming recruitments, addressed corrective measures on suspended appointments inherited from the last administration, and vowed to end land-grabbing in border communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Responding to questions, Mutfwang acknowledged the challenges of market glut caused by excessive food imports but assured that measures are being designed to boost local production, processing, and market access, fully tapping Plateau\u2019s agricultural potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NGE President, Eze Anaba, commended the governor for his peace initiatives and praised the revival of the <em>Nigerian Standard<\/em> newspaper, stressing that Plateau\u2019s unique story should continue to be told by its people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State has reaffirmed his administration\u2019s commitment to peace, prosperity, and inclusive development, describing them as the central pillars of his governance.
