The Plateau State Ministry of Youth and Sports Development held a landmark Youth Parley on Tuesday, marking two years of Governor Caleb Mutfwang\u2019s youth-friendly administration. The event, themed \u201cCelebrating Two Years of Youth-Inclusive Leadership,\u201d<\/strong> took place at Victoria Gowon Hall, Government House, Little Rayfield, Jos, and brought together youths from across the state for dialogue, empowerment updates, and strategic engagement with government officials.<\/p>\nGovernor Caleb Mutfwang, represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Arch. Samuel Nanchang Jatau<\/strong>, delivered a candid message to the young people, urging them to take charge of their futures by focusing on skill development and entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n\u201cThere is no country with more opportunity than Nigeria,\u201d Jatau said. \u201cYou must stop waiting to be pampered and start creating your own path. Government alone cannot employ everyone, but with the right environment, every young person can thrive.\u201d<\/p>\n
He emphasized that power belongs to the youth and encouraged them not to misuse it but to channel it for productive and nationalistic goals. Addressing issues of governance, appointments, and infrastructural challenges, the SSG reassured participants that the government was committed to transparency and youth development across sectors.<\/p>\n

- Launch of the BARC Farm Youth Project<\/strong> to create agri-business opportunities.<\/li>\n
- Establishment of a Technology and Outsourcing Hub<\/strong> in Jos through federal partnerships, to connect Plateau youth to global digital markets.<\/li>\n
- Ongoing development of the Special Agro-Industrial Processing Zone (SAPZ)<\/strong> to drive food processing and export.<\/li>\n
- Leadership development programs for 250 youths at Shere Hills Citizenship and Leadership Training Centre<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
- Aggressive youth inclusion in governance<\/strong>, with 65% of current government appointments<\/strong> held by young people.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\u201cGovernor Mutfwang is not just speaking to the youth \u2014 he is empowering them,\u201d Ashoms declared. \u201cFrom tech to agriculture to governance, our young people are being given the tools to thrive.\u201d<\/p>\n
He also unveiled ambitious future plans, including a Digital Literacy Roadmap<\/strong> to train 100,000 youths in cutting-edge technology, expansion of state farm programs, and international exchange opportunities for learning and exposure.<\/p>\n![\"Fb](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mathewtegha.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/FB_IMG_1749144721962.jpg?resize=300%2C225&ssl=1\")
<\/p>\n
Speaker of the Plateau State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Gabriel Dewan<\/strong>, applauded Governor Mutfwang for placing youths at the heart of his administration, calling it a testament to trust in their abilities.<\/p>\nHe urged young people to prioritize education and professionalism, saying, \u201cThe future belongs to those who prepare. Let our youths be encouraged to pursue meaningful skills, not be divided along ethnic or political lines.\u201d<\/p>\n

A recurring message at the parley was the need for Plateau youths to rise above ethnic and political divisions and work together for the prosperity of the state. Speakers called on them to support governance, pray for leaders, and actively build a better Plateau.<\/p>\n
The Youth Parley concluded with an interactive session where young participants raised issues, shared ideas, and received feedback from government representatives \u2014 reinforcing the participatory nature of the event.<\/p>\n
The event marked a renewed commitment by the state government to continue building a future where youths are central to development, innovation, and inclusive governance.<\/p>\n
