The General Manager, of Taraba Vegetable Company (Taraba GreenHouse) Mr. Japheth Yakubu has denied media reports that the management of the farm has sacked over three hundred of its workers.

Japheth who spoke on Sunday explained that the staff strength in the farm is not even up one hundred and fifty and wondered where the figures been paraded were manufactured.

The GM noted that, in accordance with company policy, some staff who were found stealing farm produce and equipment and posed a threat to the company were laid off and maintained that attributing the increasing rate of insecurity currently experienced in parts of the state to the said disengagement of service of the state agro company was very mischievous.

“Taraba has been witnessing insecurity before they were relieved of their jobs. I want to state categorically that their disengagement has nothing to do with the security challenges facing the state. Quite to the contrary, the disengagement of those bad eggs has brought peace and tranquility in the farm. The farm lost over N3Mn in three days due to stealing of crops and activities of these people”.
