Governor Mutfwang Reaffirms Commitment to Justice, Security, and Peace at New Legal Year Service; Announces Recruitment of Youths into “Operation Rainbow”
JOS, Nigeria — Governor Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang of Plateau State has reiterated his administration’s unwavering commitment to justice, security, and peace during the New Legal Year Service held at the Cathedral Church of St. Luke in Jos. In his address, Governor Mutfwang emphasized the importance of a robust legal system in upholding the rule of law and ensuring the protection of citizens’ rights.
As part of efforts to enhance security across the state, the governor announced the recruitment of 2,000 youths into the state’s security outfit, Operation Rainbow. This initiative aims to bolster intelligence gathering and rapid response to security threats, particularly in rural communities. The recruits will undergo comprehensive training to equip them with the necessary skills to support conventional security agencies in maintaining peace and order.

This includes the establishment of an Emergency Communications Centre with a toll-free line, enabling residents to report security concerns promptly. These measures are part of a broader strategy to create a secure environment conducive to socio-economic development. [3]
Governor Mutfwang’s administration continues to engage with traditional institutions and community leaders to ensure the successful implementation of these security initiatives. By involving local stakeholders, the government aims to foster a collaborative approach to peacebuilding and conflict resolution.
The governor’s reaffirmation of commitment to justice, security, and peace underscores the administration’s dedication to building a resilient and harmonious Plateau State.
