Governor Mutfwang Flags Off Distribution of ₦70 Million Worth of Eggs in Plateau State
Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State has launched the distribution of eggs valued at ₦70 million to schools, hospitals, orphanages, and other institutions across the state. The initiative, flagged off at the Plateau State Poultry Association (PAN) office in Jos, aims to promote nutrition, improve public health, and support local poultry farmers by purchasing over 30,000 crates of eggs from within the state.
Speaking through his deputy, Ngo Josephine Piyo, the governor described the initiative as a strategic effort to enhance citizens’ well-being and food security. He emphasized that the distribution goes beyond charity, symbolizing societal care and a push for a healthier future.
Commissioner for Livestock Development, Dr. Sunday Akpa (represented by Permanent Secretary Steven Daniel), revealed that three distribution centres have been set up, and the ministry alongside PAN is also producing egg powder to reduce post-harvest losses.
