Jos, Plateau State — Governor Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang has revealed ambitious plans to strengthen Plateau State’s economy during a meeting with the President of the Nigerian Guild of Editors (NGE), Mr. Eze Anaba, and members of the Guild.[1]

Here are the key takeaways:

• Mutfwang says his administration will move Plateau beyond receiving federal allocations by developing a globally competitive livestock industry aligned with international halal standards.[1]
• Specific plans include introducing high-yield dairy cattle capable of producing up to 20 litres of milk per day, reviving the Jos abattoir to process up to 500 cattle daily, and investing in large‑scale cattle feed production.[1]
• He also identified security as a challenge that has held back progress. To address this, his administration is reviving Operation Rainbow, creating a State Security and Information Centre with a toll‑free line, and using drone surveillance to reassure investors[1]
• Beyond agriculture and security, the governor pointed to major infrastructure projects underway: rehabilitation of over 100 kilometres of urban roads, construction of rural roads (via World Bank programmes), a ₦30 billion water scheme, rebuilding of markets, revival of collapsed boreholes, and a 50% cut in tuition fees for Plateau indigenes in state tertiary institutions.[1] Governor Mutfwang emphasized that with fertile soil, favorable climate, and abundant mineral resources, Plateau State is poised to tap into new markets especially through halal agriculture—and create thousands of jobs.[1]
