Your loyalty should be to God Almighty – Gov Mutfwang charges appointees

Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State has called on his appointees to work with dedication and selflessness to ensure the people benefit from democracy.

Speaking on Monday at the 2025 Executive Retreat in Miango, Bassa Local Government Area, the governor addressed commissioners, permanent secretaries, and special advisers, emphasizing the importance of teamwork and service.

“There is no time for selfishness. One of the things we must all prioritize is the progress of society. No one can achieve this alone. The era of operating individually and creating power for ourselves is over,” Mutfwang said.

He urged government officials to make a difference in their roles, no matter how short their tenure may be.

“Even if you are posted to a ministry for three months, make a difference. Apart from myself and the deputy governor, no one is guaranteed a duty post. Do your best in every position and be sincere. Yes, it is good to be loyal to me, but from this moment, I want your loyalty to shift to the God of heaven,” he stated.

Governor Mutfwang further stressed the need for integrity and diligence, reminding the appointees that the people of Plateau State were counting on them.

“Our people are suffering, and they have entrusted us to make a difference in their lives. We must stretch ourselves to find solutions and not fail them,” he concluded.
