The Coordinator of the Plateau State Potato Value Chain Support Project, Mr Thomas Muopshin, has commended the Executive Chairman of Qua’an-Pan Local Government Council, Hon Ernest Abner Da’a, for his supportive roles in ensuring the success of the programmes of the project in the state.
This came in a press statement signed by the Special Adviser to the Executive Chairman of Qua’an-Pan Local Government Council on Media and Public Affairs, Stephen Sarki Musa, and made available to SUNDAY STANDARD in Jos, the state capital shortly after the State Coordinator through the Local Government Desk Officer of the project, Mangal Joshua, paid him a courtesy visit in his office at Ba’ap Thursday.
While stating the intention of the visit, the coordinator informed the chairman that they were in his office to solidify the several partnership programmes between them and to appreciate the local government council for the support they were giving to carry out their programmes.
He specifically appreciated the chairman for ensuring the payment of counterpart funds and the sponsorship of farmers to attend workshops at different levels. He said “most of the programmes of the Tomato Value Chain Project in the local government are at 75% completion.
“Names of some of the projects include: the Namu-Shibiri-Langkaku and the Kwang-Dungpiya roads; the constructions of dams in Kalko Kwalla; Kwande and the captured Spring water at Kwang and 100 wash bores at Namu and Langkaku respectively”, Muopshin highlighted.
Responding, the Executive Chairman of Qua’an-Pan Local Government Council, Hon Ernest Abner Da’a, assured the coordinator and his team that the council would provide enabling environment for them to succeed by consistently paying the counterpart fund and sponsorship of farmers programmes.
He, therefore, assured the State Potato Value Chain Support Project Coordinator that his doors were always open to address any challenges they were likely to face in the course of their assignments as an agency so that farmers on the Plateau would benefit from it and boost the economy of the state.
