Plateau Regeneration Group  lauds Lalong over plans to boost agriculture 

By Golok Nanmwa, Jos

Plateau Regeneration Group PRG on Tuesday commended the  Governor of Plateau, Mr Simon Lalong,for purchasing over 400 tractors inorder to boost agriculture in the state .

President of the Group Barrister Katlong Danbaba made this known in a statement made available to newsmen in Jos the state capital. 

He also commended the Lalong administration for completing some projects he  inherited from the previous administration stressing that from what is on ground,  their are  lot of projects to be commissioned by President Muhammadu Buhari when he visits Plateau on Thursday. 

 The statement reads that we must commend Governor Lalong for his efforts to turn around the economic fortunes of the state through harnessing of its huge agricultural potential.

Lalong has proven to the people of the state that he is determined to better the lives of citizens of the state especially  his administration`s determination to ensure their is a bumper harvest in Plateau this year.

The purchase  of this tractors would go a long way in promoting mechanised farming in the state. 

The governor deserves to be applauded, The administration at inception about 2 years and some months ago, deliberately laid the foundation for the achievement and sustenance of the current peace in a state that had hitherto become the hotspot for ethno-religious shindigs. For instance, In collaboration with international groups like the Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue and local security agents, government embarked on some deliberate, painstaking peace-building efforts, in line with one of the Five Point Policy Thrusts of the administration, that is Peace and Security. This he did by reaching out to hitherto warring factions, religious leaders and preaching just one gospel, which is peace.

  “The Governor further established a Bureau for Peace Building in order to sustain the peace achieved, which is the first of its kind in Nigeria, The wisdom behind this is predicated on the reality that you have to have a peaceful environment in order to embark on and achieve any policy objective. This implies that government can only achieve all the other four policy thrusts where there is peace and security in the state. Now this has even become a model which neighboring  State has adopted to address its current security challenges. ”

“Most of his administration,s project  are  developmental projects that have direct bearing on the people of the state especially for those in the rural areas ”

Danbaba also called on the people of the state to come out en mase  to support  Simon Lalong as President Muhammadu Buhari commissions projects in Plateau on Thursday.
