Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, has restated his administration’s commitment to justice, security, and unity across the state, with plans to recruit over 1,000 youths into the community security outfit, Operation Rainbow.
In a Monday post by the Directorate of Press on X, it was stated that Mutfwang made the pledge on Sunday at St. Theresa Catholic Church, Jos, during the commencement of the 2025/2026 Legal Year.
The service, attended by judicial officers, clergy, and legal practitioners, marked the formal opening of the judiciary’s calendar.
“The God who has kept us this far will sustain us for the days ahead,” the governor said, describing the occasion as one of thanksgiving and renewal.
The governor disclosed that steps had been taken to improve the welfare of retired judges.
“We have taken concrete actions to ameliorate their situation by beginning the payment of their outstanding entitlements.
“Though the process is ongoing, it has commenced and by God’s grace, it will be completed,” he assured.
Mutfwang also cautioned judicial officers on the use of discretion.
“Judicial discretion used judiciously serves the ends of justice. But discretion abused will weigh heavily on a man’s conscience, and he will not be able to stand before his Creator,” he warned.
On security, he announced the expansion of Operation Rainbow, the state-backed community policing initiative.
