Amidst the resounding echoes of hymns and heartfelt prayers, the Rwang Pam Stadium in Jos on Sunday, was transformed into a sanctuary of gratitude and unity as the citizens of Plateau State gathered to celebrate the first year anniversary of Governor Caleb Mutfwang’s tenure in an interdenominational thanksgiving service.

With renowned gospel singers lending their voices to the chorus of praise and worship, the air was thick with a spirit of harmony and hope.

In a packed stadium, Governor Mutfwang, alongside his wife, Barr. Helen Mutfwang expressed gratitude for God’s guidance and pledged to foster unity and prosperity in the State.

He attributed his successful first year in office to divine intervention and the support of the citizens of Plateau State. He vowed to continue uniting the people, alleviating poverty, and advancing the state’s prosperity.

He acknowledged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s support, and further reaffirmed his commitment to intensifying efforts to restore security and resettle displaced persons.

Governor Mutfwang said, “In the coming years, we will do things that will better our lives, making sure that our youths are redeemed from vices and are put on the right track to be able to achieve their destinies. We are working to ensure that our women will be greatly helped so that they can become the mothers that we desire in our state.

“On insecurity, I want to assure you that we are doing the much we can, and we will continue to look for better ways of improving the security situation. We will not rest on our oars until every inch of land belonging to Plateau people is secured. By the grace of God, this will happen.

“We have trusted God that this year, we will go to the farm. This year, we will farm better than last year and that God will visit us this year with abundance and prosperity. We are being distracted by security challenge, but the main enemy we need to fight is poverty”, He declared.

Governor Mutwang added, “We are working to ensure that God delivers Plateau from poverty. This is because He did not ordain us to be poor people. He has blessed us with every good blessing in the land. Our weather is second to none in this nation and we are trusting Him that the days of our favour have come”
