MY VISION  AND MISSION FOR THE PLATEAU OF OUR DREAM “To end poverty on the Plateau by operating the government beyond subvention through positive change in Plateau’s socio-political-economic system through credible and dependable leadership with special focus on Human Capital Development for a greater Plateau”.

The Plateau Farmer and The AK-47 -------------------------------------------------- According to the BBC reports by Mansur Abubakar, ''an average cow in northern Nigeria costs about 100,000 naira ($260; £200) while an AK-47 on the black market could cost as much as 500,000 naira ($1,200; £950)''. (17/7/2020, BBC News Africa). I don't know a farmer on the Plateau who is willing to purchase an AK47 for N500k, when they can hardly afford fertilizer and other farm machineries to farm properly.
