Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, has said 2025 will be a year of ground-breaking achievements, including massive road construction projects, and revitalisation of the tourism and agricultural sectors, with the African Development Bank (AfDB) designating the state as a Special Agro-Processing Zone that will ensure food security and sovereignty.
He declared it a year of hope, opportunities and transformative progress that would witness increased investments in technology to further enhance security.
In a statement, yesterday, while expressing gratitude to God for His mercies, guidance and steadfast love for Plateau people in 2024, Mutfwang extended his heartfelt appreciation to the citizens of Plateau for their unwavering support to his administration.
He consequently rededicated the state to God’s hands for continued preservation and protection in the year 2025, attributing the achievements of 2024 to the prayers, resilience and tenacity of the people, which empowered his government to deliver tangible dividends of democracy.
Mutfwang stated, “With profound gratitude to the Almighty God, I warmly welcome you to 2025, a year of renewed hope, great opportunities and transformative progress for our beloved state.
“We owe our deepest gratitude to God for His steadfast guidance and protection over Plateau throughout 2024. As the Scriptures remind us, ‘If God is for us, who can be against us?’”
The governor described 2024 as a turning point for Plateau. Under the 2024 budget, tagged ‘Budget of New Beginnings’, he had said his administration laid a strong foundation for rebuilding and repositioning the state for peace and prosperity.
Highlighting security as the administration’s top priority, he noted that efforts to strengthen surveillance and protect rural communities had begun yielding significant results, adding: “Unprovoked attacks, once rampant, are steadily declining.”
Condemning child trafficking, the governor declared that decisive action would be taken against perpetrators. He urged parents to take full responsibility for safeguarding their children against this menace.
Based on recommendations from the State Advisory Council on the Prerogative of Mercy, the governor announced the granting of pardons and payment of fines for deserving individuals, who committed various offences.
He saluted the courage and resilience of the Plateau people, urging them to resist divisions along ethnic, political or religious lines. He called for unity and collective determination to achieve greater heights, emphasising that “the strength of the state lies in its diversity.
