Why I met with Plateau NASS members – Gov Mutfwang

As part of his administration’s commitment to fostering peace, unity, and inclusive governance, Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State hosted members of the National Assembly from Plateau for a strategic meeting aimed at aligning efforts to rebuild the state for the collective good of its people.

The meeting, held at the Governor’s residence in the Old Government House, Jos, provided an avenue for him to brief the federal lawmakers on his administration’s vision to restore Plateau’s lost glory and ensure equitable development across all communities.

Speaking at the meeting, the Governor emphasized the need for synergy among leaders across party lines, describing it as critical to the realization of the Plateau project.

He said, “We have come to the realization that without unity and collaboration, we cannot move Plateau forward.

“Today marks a new beginning as elected representatives of the people from different political parties, including the PDP, APC, and Labour Party, have resolved to work together for the Plateau project,” Governor Mutfwang said.

“The Plateau project is about developing and moving our state forward.

“This meeting symbolizes our collective resolve to bury political differences in the interest of our people.

“I am glad that we held this discussion in a harmonious atmosphere, and I am confident it signals a brighter future for Plateau State,” he maintained.

In his remarks, the immediate past Governor of the State and Senator representing Plateau South, Simon Lalong, who spoke on behalf of the National Assembly members, commended the Governor for initiating the dialogue.

Lalong noted that the meeting fostered mutual understanding and commitment to Plateau’s progress.

“I want to thank His Excellency for this initiative. We have had a fruitful interaction, shared our views, and agreed to work together to address the challenges facing our state.

“The Governor assured us of his support, and we also pledged to support him in moving Plateau forward.

“Next year, the people of Plateau will witness a transformed state under Governor Mutfwang’s leadership,” Senator Lalong stated.
