President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will on Saturday commission three strategic development projects in Plateau State during the APC Presidential Campaign Rally at the Zaria Road Stadium, Jos, scheduled for 10:00 a.m.

The projects are the Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) Centre, Jos; Plateau Special Activity Centre (P-SAC); and 50 units of 14-seater hybrid Jet Mover buses for inter-local government transportation.

Ahead of the commissioning, governor Caleb Mutfwang, Nentawe Yilwatda, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), and Pauline Tallen former Deputy governor inspected the facilities on Friday evening.

The Business Process Outsourcing Centre, established through a trategic partnership between the Plateau State Government, Outsource Global and MTN Nigeria, is a major milestone in the state’s digital economic transformation. With an operational capacity of 800 seats, the facility is projected to generate up to 2,400 direct full-time jobs for young people when fully deployed across three shifts.

Governor Mutfwang described the centre as a “strategic investment in human capital development, job creation and economic empowerment”, noting that it would connect Plateau’s talented youths to the global digital economy through customer experience management, technical support and back-office services.

He expressed satisfaction that young people would be able to work for international organisations from Jos and earn in foreign currencies, adding that Nigeria’s strong English-language proficiency gives its workforce a competitive advantage in the global outsourcing industry.

At the Plateau Special Activity Centre (P-SAC), the Governor explained that the facility was established to strengthen intelligence-driven security operations, recognising that security remains fundamental to sustainable development.

He said e centre integrates five critical components: the Fusion and Analytical Centre, Geo-Intelligence/GIS Unit, Drone Unit, Training Centre and Profiling Room.
