Plateau: Gov Mutfwang tasks diaspora group on unity, patriotism

From Godwin Tsa, Abuja

Governor Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang of Plateau State has urged the citizens of the state living in the United States of America (USA) to unite and form a cohesive alliance aimed at mutual development.

Governor Mutfwang gave the charge at the Gala Night of the 2023 Annual National Convention of Plateau State Association USA, Inc. (PSA-USA), held in Columbia, Maryland in the USA.

This was contained in a statement, jointly signed by the group’s General Secretary, Nanjul Wuyep, and its Public Relations Officer, Franca Keyen and made available to newsmen on Thursday in Abuja.

Mutfwang urged them to embody the quintessential Plateau spirit marked by love, togetherness, friendship, tolerance, and peace as they reside abroad.

He explained that no single tribe on the Plateau can stand in isolation, no matter its strength.

He, therefore, stressed the need for all Plateau sons and daughters residing in the Diaspora to come together and project the image of the state for accelerated growth and development.

Such collective efforts, he said, is the first step towards ushering development back to their cherished homeland.

The President of (PSA-USA), Dr. Barth Shepkong, expressed profound gratitude to Governor Mutfwang for his exemplary leadership in guiding the people of Plateau from the front.

Dr. Shepkong assured collaboration with the “Time is Now Administration” of Mutfwang to attract substantial Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) for Plateau’s growth.

The Gala Night was a melting pot of cultures and friendship, as representatives from various associations extended their support.

Friends of PSA-USA, including the Zumunta Association, USA; Igala Association; Berom Association; Middle Belt Association, Canada; and distinguished guests from Kaduna, Igbo, Yoruba, Trinidad and Tobago, Rwanda, Cameroon, and other communities, graced the event with their presence.

The PSA-USA is dedicated to promoting public service excellence, fostering collaboration among leaders, and addressing critical challenges facing Plateau State communities.
