Tinubu Hails Governor Mutfwang at 61; Applauds ‘Proactive’ Move on State Police and Agro-Economic Revolution

President Bola Tinubu has joined the people of Plateau State in celebrating Governor Caleb Mutfwang as he marks his 61st birthday today, March 12, 2026. In a glowing tribute that signals a strong “State of Harmony” between the federal and state governments, the President described Mutfwang as a dedicated leader who has successfully “flipped the script” on the state’s security challenges and economic stagnation.

Through a statement released by the Presidency, Tinubu highlighted Mutfwang’s “responsible and inclusive” governance style, which has been instrumental in returning Plateau to its glory days as Nigeria’s premier destination for peace and tourism. Most notably, the President gave a massive nod to the Governor’s recent decision to set up a State Advisory Committee on State Police. Tinubu characterized the move as a “strategic masterstroke” that perfectly mirrors the federal government’s vision for a decentralized and more effective security framework.

“Governor Mutfwang is a lawyer and a politician who understands that development cannot happen without security and stability,” the President noted. He also pointed to the state’s new agro-logistics hubs as a “Renewed Hope” blueprint for other states to follow in the quest for food security and rural empowerment.

Governor Mutfwang, who marked the day by gifting SUVs to the state’s traditional rulers to aid their community oversight, expressed his commitment to “servant leadership.” Surrounded by members of his cabinet and well-wishers in Jos, the Governor vowed to continue his administration’s focus on “unifying the people” and delivering visible dividends of democracy. As the President wished him “good health and renewed strength,” the birthday celebration served as a powerful reminder that on the Plateau, the wheels of progress are finally turning in a unified direction.
