Governor Mutfwang, in a town hall meeting with youth groups, reassured them of his commitment to addressing their demands, emphasising that the state can only achieve the dividends of good governance when citizens support the government and work collaboratively.

He explained that his entry into politics was driven by the desire to rectify the societal wrongs highlighted by the protesters, including the high cost of living, hikes in electricity tariffs, and the lack of quality healthcare and education services. He noted that these challenges were part of what motivated his decision to serve in public office.

The governor outlined several measures his administration has already taken to alleviate the economic strain on Plateau citizens, including initiatives to support micro and small businesses.

He also pledged to enhance agribusiness opportunities to create more employment for the youth and signed an electricity bill to enable the state to generate electricity.

Governor Mutfwang highlighted the federal government’s intervention, which included about 29,000 bags of rice and sorghum distributed based on a template provided by the Federal Government to schools, orphanages, and other vulnerable groups.

He assured the youth that his administration would uphold transparency, accountability, and inclusivity by ensuring that every penny received is accounted for in the public interest.

Expressing gratitude for the peaceful nature of the protests, Governor Mutfwang described the youth as progressive and dynamic individuals committed to improving the standard of living in the state.

“I am deeply frustrated when I see children denied education due to insecurity, when lives are lost because people cannot afford healthcare, and when businesses struggle due to unaffordable electricity tariffs,” the governor lamented.

He reassured the youth that his administration is committed to providing quality healthcare, improving education, enhancing security through robust intelligence gathering and advanced technology, and creating an enabling environment for lawful business activities.

The governor also mentioned the government’s efforts to reorganise urban centres to attract investors and build community markets to enable citizens to run their businesses.

He elaborated on initiatives such as the acquisition of Metro buses and the resuscitation of the rail line in the state to ease the hardship caused by the removal of fuel subsidies.

Governor Mutfwang also gave a breakdown of how federal monetary interventions were utilized, including paying counterpart funds for the Universal Basic Education programme, which has led to the reconstruction and renovation of about 300 schools across the 17 local government areas. He also mentioned servicing debts from loans taken by previous administrations and investments in the NG-CARE programme to attract more funds to the state.

He assured the youth that his administration would do everything within its reach to address their concerns and promised to present their demands to the federal government.
