ECWA GENERAL SECRETARY APPLAUDS GOVERNOR MUTFWANG ON DEVELOPMENT IN PLATEAU STATE
Jos – Government House. The Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA), led by its General Secretary, and the District Church Council Executives of the nine DCCs on the Plateau, paid a courtesy visit to the Executive Governor of Plateau State, His Excellency, Barr. Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang. During the visit, the delegation leader and General Secretary of ECWA, Rev. Dr. Ayuba Asheshe, commended and applauded the Governor for his efforts to develop and improve the well-being of the people of Plateau State. Rev. Dr. Asheshe stated that Plateau State is blessed with hardworking and resilient people, rich agricultural resources, a vibrant youthful population and a strong Christian heritage. He acknowledged the enormous responsibility of governing the State, particularly amid insecurity that has claimed lives, displaced families and destroyed livelihoods. He appreciated His Excellency for the visible developments and interventions across the State, especially in infrastructure, agriculture and human capital development. Dr. Asheshe noted that ECWA, as a church organization headquartered in Plateau State, has contributed significantly to the development of the State through evangelism, education, healthcare, agriculture, employment generation, community development and human capacity building. He concluded by saying that, like Oliver Twist, ECWA and the nine District Church Councils on the Plateau would continue to demand more, so that the Church can expand its evangelistic outreach. In his response, His Excellency, Barr. Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang, thanked God for the ministry of ECWA on the Plateau, referencing the 1960 Independence speech of Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, in which he appreciated the Church in Nigeria for its contributions to education and healthcare. The Governor specifically thanked ECWA for its contribution to educating the populace and also lauded the impact of the Bingham University Teaching Hospital, which he described as a leading hospital not only in Nigeria but in Africa for the treatment of Vesicovaginal Fistula (VVF). Governor Mutfwang concluded that his administration would continue to partner with ECWA to ensure that the Plateau State Government utilizes the structures of ECWA to reach out to ordinary people, to the glory of God.
