Governor Mutfwang reiterated his commitment to providing transformational and visionary leadership, to generate socio-economic benefits for all residents of Plateau State.
He emphasised the significance of the US strategy towards sub-Saharan Africa, launched in 2022, which underscores the renewed commitment to sub-national capacity building to unlock Africa’s urban potential.
Commenting on the status of Plateau State as an agricultural hub in Nigeria, Governor Mutfwang pointed out that the state has a comparative advantage in promoting the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), set for renewal in 2025.
Governor Mutfwang appealed to the United States to engage extensively with Nigeria’s sub-national governments, particularly Plateau State, to realise the shared vision, leveraging Plateau’s vast potential.
