Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, has reaffirmed his unwavering belief that the unity of the Plateau people remains the cornerstone for the state’s sustainable development, peace, and inclusion in national progress.
Governor Mutfwang made this known during a reception held in Abuja to honour the newly sworn in Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, Dr. Bernard Doro, a son of the State.
A statement by the governor’s spokesman, Gyang Bere, said the event was graced by top government officials, lawmakers, traditional rulers, and dignitaries from the diaspora.
In his address, Governor Caleb Mutfwang expressed gratitude to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for appointing Plateau sons and daughters into strategic national positions, describing it as a mark of confidence and opportunity for the State to demonstrate excellence.
“This evening is a celebration of what God can do,” the Governor said. “When He opens a door, no man can shut it. But beyond celebration, this appointment reminds us that when national opportunities are shared, they are done on the basis of states, not parties. We must therefore speak with one voice, support our representatives, and project Plateau as one indivisible people.”
The Governor commended Dr. Doro’s professionalism, humility, and diaspora experience, assuring him of the State’s prayers and institutional support to succeed in his new national assignment.
“We have no shortage of talent on the Plateau,” he emphasised. “What we need is unity. If we rally around our own, more doors will open for our people. I am confident that Dr. Doro will do Nigeria proud, and more importantly, make Plateau proud.”
On his part, Dr. Bernard Doro described his appointment as a divine trust and a call to selfless service, pledging to focus on tangible interventions that will uplift the poor and vulnerable across Nigeria.
Speaker of the Plateau State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Naanlong Daniel, underscored the need for reconciliation and collective responsibility among Plateau leaders, stressing that only a united Plateau can attract greater development and federal attention.
