GOVERNOR MUTFWANG, APC NATIONAL CHAIRMAN ATTEND 42ND GINDIRI SCHOOLS REUNION SERVICE, PLEDGE SUPPORT FOR IMPROVED LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
The Executive Governor of Plateau State, His Excellency, Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang, Esq., alongside the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, has reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening the educational infrastructure and improving the learning environment at Gindiri Schools, in Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State.
The two distinguished alumni made the commitment on Sunday, November 1, 2026, while addressing the congregation at the 42nd Annual Reunion Service of the Gindiri Schools Chaplaincy, held at the Church Auditorium within the school compound.
Governor Mutfwang, himself a proud alumnus of the institution, paid glowing tribute to the founding fathers for their vision, sacrifice and unwavering commitment to establishing a God-fearing institution that has nurtured generations of distinguished individuals who continue to illuminate their respective spheres of influence with the values of faith, integrity, excellence and service.
He observed that Gindiri Schools represents far more than an academic institution, describing it as a formative community where character is shaped, convictions are strengthened and lifelong values are cultivated. According to him, the institution has produced individuals who have gone on to build families, distinguished professional careers and contribute meaningfully to public service.
The Governor stressed that the enduring values bequeathed by the founding fathers remain among the greatest legacies the Gindiri Old Students Association (GOSA) can preserve and transmit to succeeding generations.
He commended the Chaplain, school administrators and members of staff for their dedication to nurturing young minds and preparing them for responsible service to God and humanity. He assured the congregation that his administration was taking decisive steps to address some of the longstanding infrastructural challenges confronting the school.
On electricity, Governor Mutfwang disclosed that arrangements were underway to provide a solar-powered energy system for the school, assuring that the project would be completed before the end of the year. He also pledged to work towards resolving the persistent water challenges within the school community.
In a significant commitment to the school's long-term sustainability, the Governor announced plans to establish an endowment fund in collaboration with Professor Nentawe Yilwatda to provide a sustainable framework for supporting the school's development and maintaining its cherished standards.
Governor Mutfwang further highlighted the positive outcomes of his working relationship with the APC National Chairman, noting that their collaboration had continued to attract goodwill and development opportunities to Plateau State.
He cited the approval and ongoing construction of the AkwangaโJosโGombe Road, with work progressing from both ends, as well as the recent approval of the Mararaban Jama'aโShendamโIbi Road linking Plateau State to Taraba State, as examples of federal interventions that would enhance connectivity, economic activities and regional integration.
The Governor called on the congregation and the people of Plateau State to sustain their support for him and Professor Yilwatda, both proud products of Gindiri Schools, as the country approaches the 2027 general elections.
He expressed confidence that a strong electoral mandate would further strengthen their capacity to attract greater federal attention, strategic partnerships and development projects to Plateau State for the benefit of its people.
He also expressed appreciation to Professor Yilwatda for his personal investment in the school, particularly the renovation and transformation of some classroom facilities, assuring that both of them would continue to
