Martin Dapper King

Today, I joined the Deputy Governor, Ngo Josephine Piyo, and the good people of Plateau State in thanksgiving to God as we marked three years in office. As I reflect on this journey, my heart is filled with gratitude to Almighty God for His faithfulness, guidance, and sustaining grace through the challenges, victories, and responsibilities of leadership. From the 2023 elections and the legal battles that followed to the security challenges confronting our state, God has remained our strength and refuge. Over the past three years, we have made significant investments in healthcare, education, agriculture, transportation, tourism, water supply, and peacebuilding. We have paid over ₦16 billion in pensions and gratuities, provided more than ₦4 billion in medical support to vulnerable citizens, expanded access to clean water, improved healthcare services, and continued rebuilding hope across our communities. The images of women dancing after water returned to communities that had gone nearly two decades without public supply remain some of the most powerful reminders of why we serve. Equally unforgettable are the sacrifices of women, youths, and children who stood firm in faith and solidarity during the period leading to the Supreme Court’s reaffirmation of our mandate. Their support will forever remain etched in my heart. As we enter our fourth year, I renew my commitment to defending the heritage of Plateau State, giving our people a voice, protecting our communities, and working tirelessly to build a peaceful, united, and prosperous Plateau for all. To every Plateau citizen, thank you for your trust, prayers, sacrifices, and unwavering support. Together, by God’s grace, we will continue to move Plateau State forward.
