‎GOVERNOR MUTFWANG URGES PUBLIC SERVANTS TO PRIORITIZE QUALITY SERVICE AND INTEGRITY

‎Plateau State Governor, His Excellency Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang ESQ, has charged public servants to demonstrate gratitude to God through integrity, fairness and responsible service to the people.
‎The Governor gave the charge on Sunday, August 23, 2026, when he served as guest preacher at the Annual Thanksgiving and Appreciation Service of Mrs. Margaret Peter Gai, wife of the former Commissioner of Lands and Survey, Hon. Peter Nyam Gai, at COCIN Church, Kabong, Jos North Local Government Area.
‎Speaking from Psalm 136, the Governor described thanksgiving as an expression of faith and a practical demonstration of confidence in God's enduring mercy and faithfulness.
‎According to him, “One thing we must do in appreciation to God is that when we appreciate God, it reflects in the way we live. It reflects in the way we conduct ourselves.”
‎Governor Mutfwang said the testimony of Mrs. Gai's recovery from illness was a reminder of God's power to transform difficult circumstances, urging the congregation to recognise and appreciate the blessings they often take for granted.
‎He noted that people could have different testimonies, ranging from healing and deliverance to provision and the restoration of families, stressing that “there's nothing God cannot do.” saying thanksgiving should not only be expressed through words but demonstrated through daily conduct.
‎“Today you may look small. Today you may look little. But as you walk with God, as you continue to appreciate what God has done and is doing, you are going to see an increase in your life,” he said.
‎He added that God could take people “from glory to glory,” pointing to the biblical promise that “the glory of the latter shall be greater than the glory of the former.”
‎Governor Mutfwang also used the occasion to challenge public servants, particularly those entrusted with responsibilities in the Ministry of Lands and Survey, to ensure that the administration's reforms translate into fairness, efficiency and justice for citizens.
‎He said the administration was focused on building sustainable institutions rather than personalities, emphasising that public institutions must continue to deliver even when those currently occupying leadership positions leave office.
‎“We are building systems. We are building institutions. We are not building theatres,” the Governor declared.
‎Earlier, the Commissioner for Lands and Survey, Hon. Peter Nyam Gai, expressed gratitude to God for the recovery of his wife and appreciated Governor Mutfwang for the support and confidence given to his ministry.
‎Nyam Gai highlighted reforms undertaken by the ministry, including the reduction of processes required for obtaining Certificates of Occupancy from six stages to three, which he said had significantly improved service delivery.
‎He disclosed that the ministry had processed about 7,000 Certificates of Occupancy within three years under the Mutfwang administration, compared with about 3,000 processed in the past.
‎‎
‎He attributed the progress to the support and policy direction of the Governor, assuring that the ministry would continue to strengthen land administration, title registration and revenue generation.
‎Nyam Gai also spoke about the ministry's mediation mechanism for resolving land disputes, saying the initiative had helped several citizens obtain justice without prolonged litigation.
‎He thanked God for the opportunity to celebrate his wife's recovery, noting that the thanksgiving service would have been a profoundly different occasion had the family not witnessed the intervention of God.
‎The service brought together government officials, members of the church, family members, friends and well-wishers, who joined the Gai family in celebrating God's faithfulness and giving thanks for Mrs. Margaret Peter Gai's recovery.
