Here’s a quick rundown of what you need to know:

- The Goal: Transparency, accountability, and order in Plateau’s property sector.
- The People: A dedicated Task Force appointed to get the job done.
- The Promise: To ensure public resources are used for the people’s benefit.
Why This Matters
Governor Mutfwang, represented by his deputy, Mrs. Josephine Piyo, made it clear: this isn’t just about recovering property. It’s about restoring the public’s trust in their government. Think about it—every illegally occupied building or misused piece of land is a resource that could be used to better the community. This task force is a commitment to put things right.
The Task Force’s Mandate
This isn’t some wishy-washy operation. The Task Force has a specific list of actions they’ll be taking:
- Identification: They’ll track down all government properties, noting their location and current occupants.
- Recovery: They’ll reclaim properties that have been illegally occupied, encroached upon, or misused.
- Investigation: They’ll dig into how long occupants have been on the property and if any renovations were done during their stay.
- Legal Action: They will work with relevant agencies and law enforcement to prosecute individuals involved in illegal activities.
- Financial Planning: They will secure funding and allocate a budget to ensure long-term financial sustainability of the task force’s goals.
- Housing Analysis: They will assess housing demands in the state.
A Call for Cooperation
The governor is urging everyone in Plateau State, especially those who might be in possession of government property, to cooperate with the Task Force. Remember, this is for the benefit of the entire state. It’s not about creating chaos, but about creating a fair and accountable system.
The Importance of Transparency
The Secretary to the Government of the State, Samuel Jatau, also emphasized the government’s commitment to due process. This isn’t going to be a free-for-all. Every action will be taken with care and in accordance with the law. No one is above the law, and everyone will be held accountable. Transparency is key! The government is making sure all processes are followed.
Meet the Task Force Leaders
Leading this charge is Major Gen. Nansak Yakubu (retd). He stated that the timing of this task force is crucial as the state is heading towards progress. He assured that all properties would be recovered smoothly, without any intimidation. He is backed by a capable team including Alh. Jibrin Husseini, Arc. Dahoro Dachomo, DCP Adamu Usman, Mr. Husseini Gunok, and Zachariah Diwong as Secretary. This is a serious team ready to handle the task at hand!
The Road Ahead
This move by the Plateau State government is bold and necessary. It sends a clear message: the days of taking advantage of public resources are over. It’s all about creating a society where everyone plays by the rules. There will be those who are unhappy with these changes, but the Governor has made a promise to the citizens, and he plans to keep it. This Task Force is just one of the many ways this administration is trying to do that. Expect big changes in how things are done. Stay tuned!
