Plateau State Governor, Barr. Caleb Mannaseh Mutfwang, has expressed his commitment to reorganize the management of all development partners in the state, to ensure efficient service delivery so as to meet the developmental needs of the people.
According to him, his administration is “diligently working” to revamp the energy, agricultural, and economic sectors in the state to combat poverty and deliver the desired benefits of democracy to the people.
The governor made the statement when the Head of SEDIN Programme and Cluster Coordinator SEDEC GIZ Nigeria, and ECOWAS Country Director, Dr. Markus Wauschkuhn paid him a courtesy call at new Government House, Little Rayfield Jos, on Monday.
While expressing his gratitude to GIZ for its significant support to Plateau State over the years, Mutfwang recalled a “notable encounter” during his tenure as the Local Government Chairman of Mangu Local Government Area, when at that time, GIZ supported a storage facility for potatoes, for the benefit of the people of Mangu.
He thanked the organization for its technical support and substantial investment in Plateau State, for the purpose of improving the poverty level in society.
He sought the organization’s assistance, particularly in addressing youth employment through various projects in the state, and assured of his willingness to leverage on the existing relationship with GIZ to maximize development in the state.
Speaking earlier, Dr. Markus Wauschkuhn, Head of SEDIN Programme and Cluster Coordinator SEDEC GIZ Nigeria, along with ECOWAS Country Director, expressed his appreciation for the warm reception by Governor Mutfwang.
He stated that their focus in Plateau is on renewable energy, agricultural sector revitalization, and building a sustainable economy for the citizens’ welfare.
Dr. Wauschkuhn reiterated his commitment to collaborate with Governor Mutfwang’s administration, emphasizing that the Time Is Now to work collectively to improve the living conditions of the people.
