Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State has assured youths in the state of his administration\u2019s commitment to providing an enabling environment for them to thrive.<\/p>\n<p>Mutfwang gave the assurance on the occasion of the official Ground-Breaking Ceremony for Plateau Agro-Innovation MakerSpace at Plateau State Polytechnic\u2019s main campus, Barkin Ladi LGA of the state.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cWe would continue to provide support for this kind of initiative so that we would be able to boost the tech ecosystem on the Plateau.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to him, \u201cWe are currently in the process of establishing the Business Process Outsourcing Centre on the Plateau, which would boost the innovative minds of our young ones.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat it means is that we can actually stay in our Business Process Outsourcing Centre, work for a company in America, and earn dollars.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not going to be for lazy people, but for those who have made up their minds to be useful and productive,\u201d he maintained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will continue to provide an enabling environment to allow for this kind of evolution.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, this MakerSpace provides a platform for cross-fertilisation of ideas to bring a formidable solution.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While appreciating the UNDP for the partnership, the governor said, \u201cI look forward to building a future for our young people, and I pray that this will be the beginning of greater stories to tell,\u201d he maintained.<\/p>\n<p>Also speaking, the Resident Representative of the UNDP, Ms. Elsie Attafuah, said, \u201cI commend Governor Caleb Mutfwang for his bold leadership and commitment to transforming Plateau State into a hub for innovation, entrepreneurship, and economic growth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She also applauded the state government for fostering an environment where young people can thrive, create, and lead in sectors critical to Nigeria\u2019s future.<\/p>\n<p>According to her, \u201cThe Makerspace as a Game-Changer is not just a building; it is a launchpad for ideas, a factory for innovation, and a catalyst for prosperity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Jos Agro-Innovation Makerspace will give entrepreneurs, inventors, and artisans the tools to turn ideas into prototypes, prototypes into businesses, and businesses into industries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt will redefine how agriculture is practiced in Plateau State, from drone-powered precision farming to agro-processing that adds value to raw produce.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlateau\u2019s youth will now have the opportunity to lead in Agro-Tech, Green Economy, and Digital Innovation, positioning the state as a national leader in smart agriculture and manufacturing,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe state is moving beyond subsistence agriculture towards technology-driven food systems, modern manufacturing, and a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis Makerspace perfectly aligns with the state\u2019s agenda, equipping young people to develop, test, and scale solutions that will transform the local economy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUNDP stands firmly as a partner in this journey, committed to supporting Plateau State\u2019s quest for sustainable development.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday is not just a groundbreaking ceremony; it is the beginning of a movement that will transform lives and shape the future,\u201d Attafuah stressed.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in his welcome address, Acting Rector of Plateau State Polytechnic, Dr. Clement Chirman, said, \u201cThe Polytechnic is poised to expand its knowledge through collaborations to harvest opportunities that will add value in its drive to produce graduates that will compete favourably in our new age.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cApart from this groundbreaking event, our institution is working in collaboration with NBTE to cultivate about 21 hectares of the institution\u2019s land with soya beans, maize, and Irish potato, among other partnerships,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211;
