Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang on Friday revealed that the State Government has saved over N500m following the staff audit which was conducted to ascertain the authentic number of staff on the State payroll.
Our Correspondent reports that Mutfwang disclosed the development during the swearing-in of the 19 Commissioners and the inauguration of the members of the Teachers Service Commission in the State.
The Governor tasked them to give their best in their various offices.
“The opportunity given to you to serve is not the time to pursue selfish goals and desires but to add value to Governance in the State,” he warned.
Governor Mutfwang also assured women and youths of giving them the opportunity to serve where necessary.
He, however, appealed for patience among his supporters as governance progresses, adding that he was working to provide palliative to cushion the effects of the economic hardship on the people.
Mutfwang, also promised the civil servants of the payment of their salaries promptly.
“I promised I will carry the women along, I know we have not done enough but we will do more to bring the women on board.
“The youths should be patient with us, we will mentor you to step into leadership successfully.
“For the Commissioners, this is not an opportunity to pursue your selfish goals and desires.
“You don’t represent your local government area but the people of Plateau State. Fight for your brothers and sisters. Plateau state must be liberated from the shackles of poverty and insecurity. We will be checking your performances. Once your performance is not satisfactory, you will be replaced,” he said.
