Honoured to represent His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Plateau State, Barr. Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang, today I commissioned the Plateau Power Tiller Utilization and Youth Mechanization Service Programme. 200 hand held 7.5hp power tillers were commissioned.
Standing at the PAMSCO Head Office in Jos, watching 200 petrol-powered hand-held tillers being flagged off, I was reminded of why we chose public service.

When we came into office, the tractor density we met in this State was a painful reflection of years of neglect, our farmers bent over the soil, doing by hand what machines should do. His Excellency, then made a clear determination from day one to erase the drudgery from agriculture in Plateau State. Today is a major additional step in that direction.

These tillers will first go to work at BARC Farms, serving as a key State contribution to the Youth Agricultural Empowerment Initiative, putting mechanized land preparation at the heart of youth-led farming from the very start. From there, the machines will be deployed across all 17 Local Government Areas of the State, operated by trained Plateau youth who will be selected, assessed, and trained. Each operator will not just be a machine handler, they will be rural entrepreneurs, earning dignified incomes while delivering affordable land-preparation services to smallholder farmers in their own communities at subsidized rates.

To His Excellency, Governor Mutfwang, thank you for the vision, the investment, and the refusal to accept that farming must remain hard, unprofitable, and unattractive to our people. To the team at the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, PAMSCO, and every farmer, this is your win too.

Plateau State is mechanizing. The farms are ready. The youth are ready.
Let us till!

It was a distinguished honour and privilege for me today representing His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Plateau State, Barr. Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang, to officially flag off the distribution of certified high-quality seeds to farmers across Plateau State at absolutely NO COST to the farmers.

A total of 250 Metric tonnes of certified seeds including Rice (FARO 44, 52, 60 & 66), Maize (Sammaz & SC-Hybrid varieties), Soyabean, and Wheat are being distributed across all the 17 Local Government Areas through the PADP and NG CARES platforms.

This is a direct investment in our farmers, our food security, and our future.

Under Governor Mutfwang's administration, agriculture is not just a policy, it is a promise kept.

To every farmer in Plateau State: this seed is yours. Plant it with confidence. Your government stands with you.

During my visit to the United States Capitol, it was an honour sharing time with Chaplain Barry C. Black, the Chaplain of the United States Senate, a man whose wisdom, grace, and depth of leadership experience are truly without equal.

In a world that often confuses authority with leadership, Chaplain Black reminded me of what genuine servant leadership looks like at the highest levels of governance. The insights he graciously shared were not just professional, they were personal, practical, and profoundly timely.

As Commissioner for Agriculture and Rural Development, Plateau State, I return home carrying not just ideas, but a renewed sense of purpose. The farmers of Plateau State, the rural communities we serve, and the agricultural transformation we are committed to delivering under the leadership of His Excellency, Barrister Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang, deserve leaders who are continuously sharpened, and I intend to be one.

Grateful for the access. More grateful for the lessons.

🇳🇬 Commissioner for Agriculture & Rural Development, Plateau State Government.
