PLATEAU STATE GOVERNOR SEEKS DEEPER SECURITY COLLABORATION WITH NAF
In a bid to reinforce internal security and deepen intergovernmental collaboration, the Executive Governor of Plateau State, His Excellency Barrister Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang, on Tuesday, 16 December 2025, paid a courtesy visit to the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Headquarters, Abuja, where he met with the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sunday Kelvin Aneke, DFS. The visit underscored the Governor’s commitment to leveraging strategic federal partnerships to address evolving security challenges in Plateau State and the wider North Central region, while conveying the goodwill of the government and people of the state and congratulating the CAS on his appointment as the 23rd Chief of the Air Staff.
Governor Mutfwang commended the Nigerian Air Force for its sustained efforts in maintaining peace and responding to security threats in Plateau State, acknowledging the complexity of the operating environment. He noted that “we are dealing with asymmetric warfare, and it is challenging,” and stressed the need for sustained cooperation, particularly during festive and farming seasons when security threats are often heightened. Reaffirming his administration’s readiness to continue supporting NAF operations, the Governor emphasised that effective security depends on close coordination between federal and state authorities to protect lives, secure livelihoods, and create a stable environment for socio-economic activities.
In his response, Air Marshal Aneke reiterated the NAF’s unwavering commitment to its Command Philosophy of building a “highly motivated, professional, and mission-ready force,” highlighting ongoing contributions to peace and stability through targeted Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance missions, air mobility, and joint operations with sister services. He expressed appreciation for the conducive environment provided by the Plateau State Government, noting that “the support and cooperation of host communities and state governments are vital to sustaining operational effectiveness and achieving lasting security outcomes.” Both leaders agreed to further strengthen their partnership through capability development, optimised training, and a whole-of-government approach, reaffirming their shared resolve to enhance peace, safety, and public confidence across Plateau State and the nation.
