In a bold step towards fostering peace and enhancing agricultural productivity, Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State has commissioned an additional 150 agro-rangers to provide security for farmers and their produce across the state.
He said the initiative is a strategic intervention aimed at ensuring food security and ultimately achieving food sovereignty in Nigeria.
Mutfwang made this known during the passing-out parade of the agro-rangers trainees at the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, Command and Staff College, Naton-Fursa, Jos East Local Government Area.
While reiterating his administration's commitment to peace, unity, and inclusive development, the Governor stated:
"Nigerian farms are national assets that must be protected. Also, the journey of farmers to and from the farms must be safe and secured if we are to guarantee food security for our nation."
