‎
‎“Moments like this are never easy, but they remind us of the reality of life and the sovereignty of God.

That is a rare blessing for which we must remain grateful,” the Governor said.

‎Governor Mutfwang noted that in a time when many lives are cut short by illness and other unforeseen circumstances, reaching the age of 80 is a testimony to God's grace and faithfulness. He urged the family to remain steadfast in faith, trusting God to grant them comfort, strength, and peace during this difficult period

‎
‎Reflecting on the transient nature of life, Governor Mutfwang reminded those present that every season of life has its appointed time and encouraged all to live purposefully, make positive impacts, and maintain their trust in God.

‎
‎Responding on behalf of the family, the Executive Chairman of Jos South Local Government Area, Hon. Silas Patrick Dung, expressed profound appreciation to Governor Mutfwang for personally visiting the family and standing with them in their moment of grief.
‎
‎He recalled that the Governor was among the first to reach out with prayers, words of encouragement, and support immediately after receiving news of his father's passing, describing the gesture as a reflection of compassionate and people-centered leadership.
‎
‎Hon. Dung disclosed that the late Da Patrick Nyam Sila was a distinguished education administrator who rose through the ranks of the civil service and served meritoriously as Zonal Director of Education after an illustrious career with the Plateau State Scholarship Board. Even after retirement, he remained committed to community service and grassroots development, serving as Supervisory Councillor for Education in Jos South Local Government Area.
‎
‎He prayed for God's continued guidance, wisdom, and strength upon Governor Mutfwang as he continues to provide purposeful leadership and drive sustainable development across Plateau State.
