The German International Development Agency (GIZ) says it will
continue to support Plateau State in capacity building that will facilitate the
creation of more jobs and economic opportunities for citizens of the
State.
The new GIZ-SEDIN Head of the Programmes in Nigeria Markus
Wauschkulm gave the commitment when he visited Governor Simon Lalong at the New
Government House Rayfield Jos on a familiarisation visit to the State.
He said the partnership between GIZ and Plateau State runs deep
and has positively affected many people in various areas especially agriculture
value chain development, peace building and job creation.
Wauschkulm said the success of the programme in the country is
very evident in Plateau State as many have been trained and given capacity to
engage in economic activities that are generating income and tackling
unemployment.
Governor Lalong appreciated the German Government for its
intervention in Nigeria and Plateau State through its laudable initiatives of
the Pro-poor Growth and Promotion of Employment in Nigeria-SEDIN.
The Governor said the State Government has enjoyed support of
GIZ in strengthening its agencies such as the Peace Building Agency, Plateau
Small Interprises Development Agency (PLASMIDA), One-Stop Investment Centre,
Project Monitoring and Result Delivery Unit among others.
Lalong said the State Government will continue to follow up on
those who have been empowered through the support of the GIZ in order to ensure
that they give others the value that they have obtained from the
programme.
