The governor disclosed this shortly after receiving the reports of the committees on Transition and Strategic Development Framework for Plateau, on Monday in Jos.The two committees were headed by Prof. Ganyir Lombin.
The governor expressed his determination to take the state to greater heights, in spite of its huge debt profile.
Mutfwang particularly expressed his readiness to tackle the current security challenges in the State.“Through out the campaign season, we were under the mistaken belief that our debt burden was around N200 billion; to hear that it is N307 billion is quite intimidating and worrisome.
But, by the special grace of God, these challenges we are confronted with are surmountable.
“Of particular concern is the issue of insecurity which, unfortunately, has become a major distraction for us.
”But we are confident that with the new security chiefs on the ground and the Special Adviser on Security assuming responsibility, we will see a difference not too long from now,’’ Mutfwang said.
The governor promised to meticulously study the document presented to him, adding that further investigation would be conducted and appropriate action would be taken as well.
