Governor of Plateau State, Caleb Mutfwang has warned individuals and groups involved in the illegal sale and acquisition of government properties, both within and outside the state to desist from such acts. He has also directed those in illegal possession of such assets to surrender them immediately to avoid severe government action.
Mutfwang in a statement through his Director of Press and Public Affairs, Gyang Bere, said the government is determined to recover what belongs to the citizenry. He announced plans to inaugurate a proactive task force to conduct thorough investigations aimed at recovering all government properties sold without due process.
On those in possession of fraudulent Certificates of Occupancy, C of O, the governor assured that they would not escape justice, emphasizing that no one, regardless of their status, would be exempted. “We will investigate and deal decisively with those holding illegal C of Os. A grace period will be given for voluntary surrender. However, if we have to come after you, the resources spent on the recovery process will not go in vain, you will bear the full cost', he maintained.
