Gov. Mutfwang inaugurates 150 agro-rangers to tackle insecurity in Plateau.

Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, has inaugurated 150 trained Agro-Rangers of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) to tackle security challenges and ensure food security in the state. 

The agro-rangers who were inaugurated by Governor Mutfwang on Tuesday in Naton-Fursa community of Jos East Local Government Area of the state, were trained to provide dedicated security for farmers and their produce across the state, complementing the efforts of other security agencies.

The governor said the initiative aims to ensure food security and sovereignty in Nigeria by protecting farms and farmers, as the agro-rangers will provide security cover for farmers, enabling them to work safely and securely.

Thanking President Bola Tinubu and security chiefs for their commitment to addressing security challenges in the state, he added that the NSCDC is working with the state government to tackle security challenges in farming communities.

In his remarks, the Commandant General of the NSCDC, Dr. Ahmed Audi, affirmed the corps' determination to support the state government in ensuring sustainable peace and food security.
