The Plateau State chapter of the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON) has formally endorsed Governor Caleb Mutfwang for re-election in 2027, following the completion of a landmark peer review tour of the state’s 17 local government councils.
The review, led by ALGON Chairman Hon. Hamisu Anani, was designed to assess governance at the grassroots, evaluate project execution, and strengthen unity across local councils.
Throughout the tour, ALGON executives inspected major developmental projects including roads, police stations, hospitals, youth centres, schools, markets, staff quarters, renovated traditional palaces, and the Snakebite Treatment Hospital. According to Anani, the initiative was not just about project assessment but also about engaging directly with communities.
“This review has not only allowed us to assess projects but also to engage with the people directly and understand the impact of these developments. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, and it’s clear that the people appreciate the progress under Governor Mutfwang’s leadership,” he said.
Security issues were also addressed during the tour. ALGON resolved to hold monthly meetings with local stakeholders to tackle insecurity, which remains a challenge in some areas of the state.
Governor Mutfwang’s administration was repeatedly praised for its fiscal responsibility and “open-handed” governance. ALGON leaders noted that, under his leadership, local governments have executed projects without resorting to borrowing, while outstanding debts were cleared.
“The people of Plateau are happy with the level of development taking place under this administration, and they are already calling on His Excellency to continue beyond 2027,” Anani affirmed.
The tour, which started in Qua’pan, Shendam, Mikang, Langtang South, and Langtang North, eventually covered all 17 councils, concluding in Jos East. Each LGC showcased projects that highlighted both completed and ongoing works, reflecting a shared commitment to grassroots development.
ALGON described the exercise as a unifying process that allowed chairmen to share best practices and collectively address governance challenges.
By the end of the tour, Plateau ALGON declared its unified support for Governor Mutfwang’s second term bid, describing his administration as one that has set the state on a sustainable growth path.
