Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to keeping the state a refuge for law‑abiding Nigerians displaced by insecurity in parts of the country, particularly the North East.
Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to keeping the state a refuge for law‑abiding Nigerians displaced by insecurity in parts of the country, particularly the North East.
Speaking yesterday during a service at the EYN–Church of the Brethren in Nigeria, located opposite the Plateau State House of Assembly in Jos, the governor said his government would continue to work toward restoring lasting peace across the state, the Middle Belt, and the nation.
Mutfwang expressed gratitude to the church for its support during the 2023 general election and assured worshippers that his administration remained focused on promoting peaceful coexistence and improving the welfare of citizens.
“Let us thank God that some of our brethren who were displaced have begun returning home. I want to assure you that Plateau State will continue to serve as a refuge for those displaced, particularly from the North East. We pray for the restoration of peace across Plateau, the Middle Belt, and the entire nation,” he said.
The governor urged residents to embrace unity and support one another, warning against divisive attitudes that could undermine collective progress.
He encouraged citizens to celebrate each other’s achievements, noting that resentment toward others did not translate into personal success.
While acknowledging that government could not meet every individual need, Mutfwang said his administration was committed to addressing the shared aspirations of the people. He paid special tribute to widows, praising their resilience and announcing plans for a major intervention to support them.
In his remarks, the Reverend in charge of EYN LCC Jos, Joseph T. Kwaha, commended the governor for what he described as responsive leadership, citing his swift reaction to crises such as the recent attacks in Angwan Rukuba.
He said the governor’s actions demonstrated a strong commitment to peace, unity, and security.
