Plateau Social Media Re-engineering 2025: Media Aides to the Governor Inspects Ongoing and Completed Projects within Jos-Bukuru Metropolis

Media aides to the Executive Governor of Plateau State have celebrated the 2025 Plateau Social Media Day in honor of Governor Caleb Manaseh Mutfwang's two-year anniversary in office. The celeberation with the theme "Governor Caleb Mutfwang's Two Years in Office: Connecting the People of Plateau State to Good Governance" saw the media aides commence their activities on Friday, 27th June 2025, with a novelty football match between two teams: Team Plateau State Executive and Team Plateau State ALGON, to signify the unity within the Mutfwang-led administration.

On Saturday, 28th June 2025, the media aides commenced the day's activities by participating in environmental sanitation in collaboration with the Director General of the Plateau Environmental Protection and Sanitation Agency, Mr. Samuel Dapiya, and a group of female supporters of the Governor around the Jos North Council Secretariat, where the Council Chairman, Barrister J.K. Chris, was on ground to receive them.

DG PEPSA, Mr. Samuel Dapiya, commended the patriotism of the media aides to the Governor, while also calling on other youths to emulate them.

"For me, this is the highest form of patriotism—that the media aides of the Executive Governor of Plateau State, His Excellency, Barrister Caleb Manaseh Mutfwang, have identified the need to evacuate waste within the city center. And for me, this is also an exemplary show of leadership. One by the Chairman of Jos North, who has shown exemplary leadership by practically demonstrating how to evacuate or distill waste from the gutters. The young people who are out here, the gallant ladies who are out to support the vision of His Excellency to make Plateau beautiful, to make Plateau clean, and also healthy for Plateau people."

"For me, I must commend all the media aides. And for me, all the 17 local governments should also learn from what these aides have done. We can exemplify these things in our own little way. So it's a call for every young person, irrespective of your political party, irrespective of your geography, to participate in environmental sanitation. Today's sanitation is a low-key sanitation—there's zero enforcement."

"But these are young people that have identified this particular community to come and engage in this evacuation. So it's highly, highly commendable. And I must tell them a very big congratulations on this giant stride."

Also speaking on the participation of the media aides in the sanitation, the Executive Chairman of Jos North LGC, Barrister J.K. Chris, hailed them for awakening themselves to the responsibility of keeping waterways clear and the environment clean.

"Alright, so today is a very wonderful day. It's a day that we witness a great awakening among the young people in Plateau State, especially the media assistants and media aides to His Excellency that also keyed into the vision of sanitizing and opening up the drainages in the state—especially the state capital, Jos-Bukuru metropolis. We have seen the devastating effects of flooding, as it is causing havoc even here in Jos, in Plateau State. But what we are doing is we are able to key into the vision and clear our waterways, clear our drainages, and clear our refuse, and make sure that we have a proper refuse disposal system."

"This is supporting the sanitation sector of the government. So I want to appreciate the media aides to His Excellency, and also the gallant ladies—the die-hard supporters of His Excellency, Barrister Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang—the young women that have also keyed into this vision. They are all out today to see that our environments are clean, that we support PEPSA and His Excellency to ensure that our Plateau State is well sanitized and our drainages are open."

Director General, Plateau State Information and Communication Technology Development Agency (PICTDA), Engr. Dominic Datong Gwaman, while commending the media aides to the Governor, also charged other young people on the responsible use of social media to speak the truth and change false and negative narratives on the Plateau.

"Today is a very wonderful day in the life of the social media personnel on the Plateau. One of the major things that is supposed to happen on social media is to tell the truth about things that are happening."

"Unfortunately, bad publicity is being provided on social media. Today, we are proud that a group of social media personnel are gathering to commemorate the two-year anniversary of Governor Mutfwang, celebrating all the projects that he has done. We really thank them for that feat. And we hope that other people who are using social media for the wrong reasons would learn from them and tell the truth so that the world can learn about it. Kudos to you all on the Social Media Day."

The media aides, in their number, iconically conveyed in one of the Metro Buses, went on to inspect ongoing and completed projects such as the Tudun Wada–Kabong, Kabong–Mining Junction Road, Tati Hotel, Rehabilitation of the Jenta Road Network, Ongoing Rehabilitation of Plateau Hotel, the Completed Uton Kong Bridge – Abattoir Overhead Bridge and Road Network covering Abattoir Police Station to Old Airport, the New JMDB Bukuru Market, and the recently acquired additional Metro Buses.
