International Day Of Rural Women: Governor Mutfwang Celebrates Plateau

Plateau State Governor, Barr. Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang has joined the international community and lovers of humanity in felicitating with Rural Women in Plateau State and across the globe as they celebrate International Day of Rural Women.

In a congratulatory message, Governor Mutfwang underscored the pivotal role rural women play in enhancing food security and sustainable development in the world.

He acknowledged the tenacity and perseverance of rural women in Plateau State in the fight against poverty and unemployment, saying their essential role has significantly improved the living condition of the populace.

Governor Mutfwang noted that women contribute immensely to agricultural production in the state, and urged stakeholders to always acknowledge, value and appreciate this significant role of rural women to agricultural labour force in Plateau state  and the country at large.

He described the 2023 theme, "Rural Women Cultivating Good Food for all" as apt and timely, in view of the crucial role women play from the production of crops to processing, preparing and distribution of foods to feed their families, communities and the nation.

Governor Mutfwang acknowledged with delight that the average Plateau women are hardworking, resilent and pledged that government will on its part, create the enabling  environment for them to participate actively in governance by partnering with development partners to enhance their living condition, particularly those in rural communities.

He said  it was in recognition of this that his administration appointed a significant number of women to play the motherly roles and help drive an all inclusive developmental agenda in the state.

Governor Mutfwang on behalf of his wife, Her Excellency, Barr Helen Mutfwang, the Deputy Governor, Ngo Josephine Piyo and the good people of Plateau State is therefore joining other well-wishers in celebrating Plateau Rural Women on the occasion of  International Day of Rural Women, hoping that the day will open new vistas for women.
