You’ve No Permanent Jobs Here – Gov Mutfwang Cautions Appointees

Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State has warned political appointees that their paid jobs are at risk in the event of poor or underperformance in office.

In cautioning that none of them has a permanent job, except the Deputy Governor and himself, Governor Mutfwang said; “Everyone of us, apart from myself and the deputy governor, no one is guaranteed a duty post” in this administration.

According to him, the appointees must therefore redouble their efforts and perform creditably in order to justify their appointments and continued stay in their respective positions.

The governor delivered the marching order at the 2025 Executive Retreat for government appointees and officials held at Miango in Bassa Local Government Area of the state.

Further stressing that no appointee has a permanent job, Governor Mutfwang said; “There is no time for selfishness, because one of the things that we will all do is for the progress of the society. No man can do it alone, and so the time when we were operating individually and creating power to ourselves is over.

“It is now time to join hands together and take advantage of this time. Don’t think you have time. Even if you are posted to a ministry for three months, make a difference.

Waxing spiritual, the Governor said; “Do your best in every position you are and be sincere. Yes it is good to be loyal to me, but what I want from this moment is that your loyalty shift to the God of heaven.

“So, you must always try on a daily basis to keep a clear conscience before God and before men. I will like to see us work unsupervised, I want us to give our best because our people are dying, our people are suffering, our people are living in poverty and they have given us the trust to do something about their situation.”

Also indicating that time is of essence, Governor Mutfwang said; “We can’t wait no more, the time to make a difference is now. And I want to urge you wherever is your duty post, do your best and stretch yourself so that a solution can be provided to our people. May we not fail”

Participants at the programme included commissioners, permanent secretaries, special advisers, and some top government functionaries among others
