"I come from a proud family that has been involved in public service for as long as I can remember. Plateau state is home to me and I believe through the improvement of government investment in finance and governance, peace and security, physical infrastructure and human capital, the GDP contribution of the key sectors that Plateau State has comparative advantage would improve. Plateau State needs to focus its investment, development and reforms, in activities that the state has natural advantage: Mining, Tourism, Agriculture and Commerce and Industry should be top priority. This will be the basis in consolidating the infrastructures created by previous governments to lead Plateau State to being the true home of peace and tourism."
