The Governor of Plateau State on Thursday 8th August, 2024 at the Old Government House Rayfield allocated 100 Motorcycles, Raincoats and Rain Boots to Heads of some security agencies in the State to help them in their efforts to enhance security of lives and property of the Citizens.

While handing over the items to the security agencies, Gov. Mutfwang hinted that the gesture is a deliberate effort to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of surveillance in rural communities with challenging terrains that are difficult to be accessed by security personnel in times of insecurity. He reiterated the commitment of his administration towards the security of lives and property of the Citizens of the State and disclosed that the items will make significant gains in security of the State. He said the distribution is the first phase of his administration’s broader intervention strategy aimed to empower security personnel to navigate challenging terrains across the State and enhance their operational capabilities in rural areas.

“This is a landmark moment in our ongoing efforts to secure peace and stability in Plateau State. Over the past two months, we have made significant strides in our pursuit of a safer Plateau. Supporting our security agencies with essential logistics, particularly in rural areas, is crucial for safeguarding our farmers and ensuring they can cultivate enough food for our people” Governor Mutfwang remarked.

The Governor also highlighted the state’s substantial investment in advanced technology to address the various security challenges facing Plateau State. He urged the security personnel to ensure the motorcycles used for the purpose they were provided for.

Arc. Samuel Jatau, the Secretary to the Government of the State (SGS) earlier in his remarks disclosed that the items are meant for security outfits in the State including the military, Police, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Nigerian Correctional Service, Operation Rainbow and Vigilante Group of Nigeria (VGN).

Speaking on behalf of the security agencies, Mr. Alexander Barunde, the Commandant of NSCDC in Plateau State, expressed profound gratitude to Governor Mutfwang for his support. He assured that the equipment would be utilized effectively to enhance security across the state.
