We faced legal distractions that sought to derail the mandate you freely gave us.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe endured the pain of continued attacks on our rural communities, the burden of a broken economy, and the scars of many years of neglect. But through it all, we did not falter. We kept faith. We stayed the course. And we have begun to see the signs of a new Plateau\u2014the Plateau of our dream.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have taken bold and deliberate steps to secure lives and property. Working closely with federal authorities, we have revitalized Operation Rainbow for intelligence gathering, launched an Emergency Communications Centre with a toll-free line to ensure rapid response across the State,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are supporting our security agencies and local communities to ensure that peace returns to all our towns and villages. We have also established the Plateau State Activity Centre, equipped with modern technology for the purpose of surveillance across the state,\u201d the governor maintained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the civil service, we have restored dignity and hope. We cleared the four and a half months\u2019 salary arrears we inherited, resumed regular payment of salaries, gratuity, and pensions since 1984, restored promotions and training, and reconnected government offices to electricity for effective service delivery.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am proud to say that Plateau workers are fast regaining their pride and the desired motivation to serve our beloved state.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn the economic front, we have made significant gains with the introduction of our Tin City Metro transport service that is transforming urban mobility in Jos and Bukuru Metropolis.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, \u201cThe initiative is creating jobs, subsidizing the burden of transportation for about 9,000 passengers daily, which translates into a subsidy of about \u20a639,000 per person monthly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust a few days ago, we added 15 more brand-new additional buses to the fleet, bringing the total to 30. To facilitate interstate travel, we have also procured many Toyota Sienna vehicles and refurbished several others to ply the Jos\u2013Abuja corridor and other routes.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking further, the governor said, \u201cOur transportation agenda is not confined to roads alone. We signed a Memorandum of Understanding with ValueJet Airlines to provide thrice-weekly Jos\u2013Abuja flights and Lagos\u2013Jos flights.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFurthermore, we partnered with the Nigerian Railway Corporation to revive rail transport, providing a cushion against the effects of fuel subsidy removal. In the coming days, this service will be commissioned, opening a new chapter in Plateau\u2019s economic transformation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAgriculture has received a major boost with the recovery of over 900 hectares of land belonging to IDPs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe distribution of fertilizer and other farming inputs worth \u20a616 billion, and the training of hundreds of young farmers in modern agricultural businesses have been accomplished.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRecently, we also signed an MoU with the famous research institute, IITA, Ibadan, to train our youth in Agri-Business as well as acquire skills across the agriculture value chain. We are also working closely with international partners to establish agro-processing hubs across the State for improved agricultural value-chain and industrialization,\u201d he maintained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYour excitement over the roads that are being fixed motivates us. Projects are ongoing across the state to reconnect our people, boost commerce, and promote tourism. Most of these projects have either been completed or are ongoing. Some roads, untouched for decades and especially since the last PDP administration, have been rehabilitated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can confidently inform you that the Road Maintenance Agency has rehabilitated about 111 km of urban roads as part of our Urban Infrastructure Renewal Programme.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSimilarly, over 3,000 km of roads that were initiated by the Jang administration, but abandoned subsequently, are presently being constructed by the Ministry of Works, among other developmental strides.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo every community that has suffered loss, I assure you that we have not forgotten you. We are working in collaboration with the Federal Government and development partners to resettle displaced persons and rebuild broken communities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe continue to engage with the Federal Government and donor agencies to bring relief, justice, and long-term peace.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFellow citizens, these achievements are only the beginning. We are building a solid foundation for the Plateau of our dreams: a just, united, and prosperous State where every citizen has a sense of belonging and opportunity,\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; Nigeria.
