Mutfwang remarked, “Witnessing the operational excellence of a standard meat packing industry inspires us to revamp our abattoirs, notably in Jos and other locations. Discussions with investors are underway to rebuild the Jos abattoir, and we aim to make significant progress by year’s end.”
The Managing Director of Abis Farms, Emmanuel Usman, highlighted the success of similar partnerships with states like Lagos and outlined the potential for job creation with the replication of their facility in Plateau State.
