Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang has called on his appointees to redouble their effort and perform creditably well, saying that apart form him and his deputy, none of the new appointees has permanent job in his government.
Mutfwang spoke on Monday at the 2025 Executive Retreat for government appointees and officials
The programme which held at Miango in Bassa Local Government Area of the state, had commissioners, permanent secretaries, special advisers, among others, in attendance.
Mutfwang emphatically said apart from himself and the Deputy Governor, no appointee has a permanent job.
Speaking on the temporary nature of their jobs and the need too live up to expectations, Mutfwang said, “There is no time for selfishness, because one of the things that we will all do is for the progress of the society. No man can do it alone, and so the time when we were operating individually and creating power to ourselves is over.
“It is now time to join hands together and take advantage of this time. Don’t think you have time. Even if you are posted to a ministry for three months, make a difference.
“Everyone of us, apart from myself and the deputy governor, no one is guaranteed a duty post. Do your best in every position you are and be sincere. Yes it is good to be loyal to me, but what I want from this moment is that your loyalty shift to the God of heaven.
“So, you must always try on a daily basis to keep a clear conscience before God and before men. I will like to see us work unsupervised, I want us to give our best because our people are dying, our people are suffering, our people are living in poverty and they have given us the trust to do something about their situation.”
Waxing philosophical on the wise saying of time waits for no one, Mutfwang said, “We can’t wait no more, the time to make a difference is now. And I want to urge you wherever is your duty post, do your best and stretch yourself so that a solution can be provided to our people. May we not fail,” he added.
