of 50 patrol pickup vans and 200 security motorcycles for distribution to security agencies in the state.

Briefing newsmen late Wednesday after the weekly State Executive Council Meeting held at the New Government House, Little Rayfield Jos, Commissioner for Information and Communication Mr. Dan Manjang said the decision was taken to strengthen the capacity of the security agencies to respond to various challenges across the state.

He said the patrol vehicles and motorcycles will be deployed across the state and utilised for the purpose of proactively tackling kidnapping, banditry, and other crimes. He said there will be increased intelligence gathering, particularly in the rural areas. Manjang also said that Council approved the scrapping of Plateau Agric Mechanization and Supply Company because it doesn’t have a law establishing it and its functions have been subsumed under the ASTC.

Council also approved the report of the economic and financial sub-councils and directed for a draft white paper on the relationship between ministries and parastatal in the execution of their statutory functions. Having an approval of three sub councils last week.
