.Plateau State Governor, Barr. Caleb Mutfwang, has challenged office holders to step up their commitment to governance, urging them to be more determined and resolute in their approach. He emphasized that the time to act is now, saying, “God will not send angels to fix our problems. We must rise and trust Him to make us solution providers.”
Governor Mutfwang threw down the gauntlet on Monday while declaring open a week-long annual retreat for Plateau’s political appointees, held at the Miango Rest Home in Bassa Local Government Area.
The retreat, themed “That Plateau may shine,” aims to promote good governance and the dividends of democracy.
The governor stressed the importance of teamwork, reflection, and evaluation, saying, “Every system has its patterns of behavior, but you can choose to remain true to yourself.” He highlighted the need to revive public schools and strengthen the public healthcare system, emphasizing that progress is built on unity.
Commissioner for Information and Communication, Rt. Hon. Joyce Ramnap, noted that the retreat will help chart a direction for the state and its people, providing an opportunity for critical thinking and reflection.
The retreat, which commenced on Sunday, February 9, will run until Saturday, February 15, 2025.
