The Governor gave the charge on Tuesday, 27th October, 2026, during the swearing-in ceremony of the appointees at the Victoria Gowon Hall, New Government House, Little Rayfield, Jos.
Governor Mutfwang said public office is not a privilege but a sacred responsibility that demands integrity, discipline, accountability and unwavering commitment to the collective interest of Plateau State.

He explained that the appointments were intended to strengthen the governance structure, broaden consultation, enhance policy formulation and implementation, and inject additional expertise into government.
“Your appointments were not merely recognitions of personal achievement; they are calls to greater responsibility, sacrifice, loyalty and accountability to the people of Plateau State,” the Governor told the appointees.
He tasked them to provide sound, timely and evidence-based policy advice, identify practical solutions to emerging challenges and ensure government decisions translate into measurable improvements in the lives of citizens.
“Your recommendations must be timely, evidence-based and guided by the overriding interest of Plateau State,” he said, urging them to demonstrate professionalism and the capacity to turn ideas into actionable proposals.
On teamwork, Governor Mutfwang cautioned against personal interests and unnecessary rivalries, stressing that loyalty must be reflected in responsible service and commitment to the administration’s mandate.
“Our administration needs people who can offer honest advice, identify workable solutions and remain focused on the collective interest of the state,” he emphasized.
