Mutfwang Realigns Plateau Governance, Appoints Assembly Commission Chair, School Feeding Aide, 14 Liaison Officers

The strategic focus on the School Feeding Programme underlines a broader educational agenda. Stakeholders believe that appointing a dedicated Senior Special Assistant to coordinate the feeding initiative is a direct response to rising inflation and food insecurity, which have historically threatened primary school attendance. By guaranteeing at least one nutritious meal a day, the administration aims to not only keep children in classrooms but also improve cognitive outcomes and bolster early child development metrics in rural Plateau.

Concurrently, the deployment of 14 Liaison Officers across various local councils represents a calculated effort to decentralize governance and establish a feedback loop between the grassroots and the Rayfield Government House. The newly appointed officers include Emmanuel Nyam Pate (Jos East), Bldr. Moses Danang (Qua’an Pan North), Longji Kefas Kabang (Mangu North East), Patience Danjuma (Barkin Ladi), and Hon. Yusha’u Abubakar Mazadu (Jos North North), among others who will act as direct conduits for regional development policies.

Governor Mutfwang has urged the new appointees to deploy their vast expertise, dedication, and local knowledge to advance the state's developmental blueprint. He emphasized that accountability, transparency, and high professionalism must remain their guiding principles. As these officials assume their roles, the immediate challenge will be translating these administrative appointments into tangible public goods, particularly in rural education access, clean water regulation, and community-level economic security.
