Mr Gyang Bere, Director of Press and Public Affairs to Gov. Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau, says that the governor is laying a solid foundation toward steady growth, development and prosperity.
Bere said this when Prof. Godfrey Danaan, Head of Mass Communication Department, University of Jos, visited him on Wednesday in Jos.
Bere, who said that the governor had used his first year in office to correcting the wrongs of his predecessors, noted that the choice of Mutfwang was timely for Plateau.
He added that the governor had dedicated the last one year to reorganising and resuscitating moribund sectors.
He added that the governor had initiated some innovative ideas aimed at boosting the economy and improving on the welfare of the citizens.
”We are all witnesses to the developmental strides of our governor; he has reorganised almost every sector in the state.
”The rehabilitation of dilapitated roads and completion of abandoned ones, the tremendous transformation in the transport, agriculture, health, tourism sectors, including the fight against insecurity, are all visible.
”This goes to show that the governor is delivering on his campaign promises; he has laid a solid foundation that will take Plateau to an enviable height,” he said.
Bere said that Mutfwang was committed to building a united and peaceful Plateau, adding that no policy initiated by the government is aimed at inflicting pains and hardship.
”No policy of this government is targeted at bringing hardship on the people; the urban renewal plan, for instance, is for the good of all.
”So, people must discard emotions and support this government in its bid to make Plateau the envy of other states.
”The governor will continue to pursue programmes that will better the lots of the people.
”All we need from the citizens is their prayers, support and understanding, because achieving a beautiful Plateau is possible,” he said.
Bere, who obtained his first and second degrees at the department, thanked the lecturers for the visit and the support accorded him over time.
Earlier, Danaan had said that the visit was to congratulate Bere on his appointment and advised him to live by the ethics of the journalism profession.
He also thanked Gov. Mutfwang for appointing many alumnus of the department into various positions in his government.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Danaan was accompanied on the visit by other senior lecturers and staff of the department.(NAN)
