Undoubtedly what may have further sharpened the eyes of critical observers in Plateau was the Mutfwang administration’s empowerment of the youth population with knowledge and skill on modern farming practices. This laudable move has won the approbation of the African Development Bank, which is now partnering with the Plateau State Government to establish a Special Agro-Industrial Processing Zone. As a corollary to the agreement with the AfDB is training of youths in agricultural practices, including the training of 600 youths under Operation Rainbow for intelligence gathering and sharing.
