GOVERNOR MUTFWANG CELEBRATES PLATEAU YOUTHS ON 2026 INTERNATIONAL YOUTH DAY, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO YOUTH INCLUSION, EMPOWERMENT

The Executive Governor of Plateau State, His Excellency, Barrister Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang, has congratulated the youths of Plateau State on the occasion of the 2026 International Youth Day, describing young people as indispensable partners in the development, peace, prosperity, and future of the State.

In a heartfelt message, Governor Mutfwang commended Plateau youths for their resilience, creativity, courage, and contributions to community development and sustainability across the State. He noted that young people remain a vital force in shaping a peaceful, prosperous, inclusive, and sustainable Plateau.

The Governor said the theme of this year’s International Youth Day, “Different Contexts, Common Aspirations,” provides an important opportunity for governments, communities, development partners, and young people to reflect on the challenges confronting the younger generation and strengthen practical measures that will enable them to realise their full potential.

Governor Mutfwang reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to creating an enabling environment where Plateau youths can acquire relevant skills, access local and global opportunities, develop entrepreneurial capacity, participate meaningfully in governance, and contribute positively to the State’s economic and social transformation.
He acknowledged some of the challenges confronting young people, including unemployment, limited access to economic opportunities, skills gaps, and the pressures associated with a rapidly changing global economy. He, however, noted that his administration is taking deliberate steps, in collaboration with institutions such as the Bank of Industry, to expand economic opportunities and empower Plateau citizens, particularly young people.

He urged Plateau youths to channel their energy, talents, and creativity into education, innovation, entrepreneurship, technology, agriculture, creative industries, and other productive ventures capable of creating jobs, promoting economic self-reliance, and strengthening their capacity to contribute meaningfully to the development of the State.

“The strength of Plateau lies in the energy, creativity, talents, and determination of our young people. As we celebrate International Youth Day, I urge our youths to believe in themselves, embrace opportunities, uphold peace, and remain committed to building a stronger, more prosperous, and united Plateau State.

“We will continue to listen to your aspirations and create opportunities for you to participate meaningfully in governance and the development of our State. Your future is inseparable from the future of Plateau.” Governor Mutfwang stated.

He assured Plateau youths that his administration would continue to support policies and programmes that expand opportunities for youth development, skills acquisition, entrepreneurship, employment, empowerment, and meaningful participation in governance.

On behalf of his family, the Government, and the peace-loving people of Plateau State,
Governor Mutfwang, wished all Plateau youths a happy and meaningful 2026 International Youth Day, assuring them of his administration’s continued commitment to their development, empowerment, inclusion, and the creation of greater opportunities for them to thrive.
