Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang has charged newly appointed advisers to deliver measurable results while expressing concern over a fresh attack in Gyero village, Jos South Local Government Area.
Mutfwang gave the charge on Tuesday, October 27, 2026, during the swearing-in of a Special Adviser and Honorary Special Advisers at Victoria Gowon Hall, New Government House, Little Rayfield, Jos.
According to a statement by Gyang Bere, the Governor’s Director of Press and Public Affairs, Mutfwang urged the appointees to justify the confidence placed in them by contributing meaningfully to governance and addressing the needs of residents.
He said public office was a responsibility requiring integrity, discipline, accountability and commitment to the public interest.
“The mandate freely entrusted to us by the people of Plateau State is not a privilege to be enjoyed, but a solemn responsibility to be discharged with integrity, humility, sincerity and measurable results,” the Governor said.
Mutfwang explained that the appointments were intended to strengthen governance, improve policy formulation and implementation, and bring additional expertise into government.
He urged the appointees to provide timely, evidence-based advice, develop practical solutions to emerging challenges and ensure government policies translate into tangible improvements in people’s lives.
The Governor also cautioned against personal interests and unnecessary rivalries, stressing that teamwork, professionalism and accountability were essential to achieving the administration’s objectives.
On security, Mutfwang reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to protecting lives and property, citing the reinvigoration of Operation Rainbow, community-based security initiatives and the training of approximately 1,500 personnel.
He acknowledged that more work remained to be done and urged the appointees to remain accessible and responsive to the concerns of women, young people, farmers, entrepreneurs and vulnerable communities.
The Governor also highlighted ongoing interventions in healthcare, education, agriculture, energy, water supply, sanitation, transportation and road infrastructure, particularly in rural and underserved communities.
