GOVERNOR MUTFWANG HAILS PRESIDENT BOLA AHMED TINUBU FOR CREATING ONE TRILLION DOLLAR ECONOMY, CALLS FOR LOCAL PRODUCTION TO DRIVE INDUSTRIALIZATION

The Executive Governor of Plateau State, His Excellency, Barr. Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang, has applauded President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for laying a strong financial framework aimed at building a one trillion-dollar economy for the prosperity of Nigerians.

Governor Mutfwang made this commendation on Tuesday during the public presentation of two books authored by Dr. Yakubu N. Gambo, Nigeria’s Ambassador-Designate to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The event was held at the Auditorium of the National Open University, Abuja.

The books, titled “African Economic Community and the Challenges of Integration” and “Revenue Sharing and Resource Allocation in Nigeria: Contemporary Issues from 1954–2007,” explore the dynamics of African integration and the complexities of revenue allocation in Nigeria.

Governor Mutfwang praised President Tinubu for creating an enabling environment for revenue growth and economic expansion. He noted that Plateau State is laying a solid and enduring foundation for revenue independence from federal allocations, expressing optimism that the state will achieve self-sufficiency and drive industrialization for the benefit of its people.

The Governor also expressed deep concern over the prevailing security challenges in the state. He reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to tackling criminality, particularly in rural communities, and commiserated with families who have lost loved ones in recent violent attacks.

Congratulating Dr. Gambo, Governor Mutfwang commended his contribution to national discourse on critical economic issues. He emphasized that sustainable peace and equity in revenue sharing can only be achieved by expanding the nation’s economic base.

“We are still largely a consumer economy and have yet to fully embrace production. Much of the tension around revenue allocation stems from the fact that we are sharing the same limited resources. If we do not expand the economic base—if we do not bake a bigger cake—we will continue to face these challenges.

“I therefore salute the initiative of Mr. President to build a one trillion-dollar economy. We must take deliberate and strategic steps to lay the foundations for economic productivity,” the Governor stated.

In his remarks, the Chairman of the occasion and former Governor of Nasarawa State, Senator Umaru Tanko Al-Makura, praised the author for his intellectual contribution and also commended President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, describing him as a seasoned administrator and committed democrat.

The book “Revenue Sharing and Resource Allocation in Nigeria: Contemporary Issues from 1954–2007” was reviewed by Professor Umara Ibrahim, Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Maiduguri. Meanwhile, Professor Shehu Abdullahi Yibikwal, former Nigerian Ambassador to Russia and Belarus, reviewed “African Economic Community and the Challenges of Integration.”
