The problem
Governor Mutfwang says Plateau entered his administration carrying a debt burden of ₦307bn, well above the roughly ₦200bn he had estimated during the campaign.
What was done
DMO's subnational debt reports show Plateau's tracked domestic debt stock falling from ₦83.39bn in March 2025 to ₦67.50bn by December 2025, but this covers only part of the broader ₦307bn figure, which also includes bank facilities and contractor liabilities not separately itemised in the sources reviewed.
Fixed
The problem
The administration inherited four months of unpaid salaries (over ₦11bn out of civil servants' wage bill) and ₦24bn in outstanding gratuity and pension arrears from the Lalong administration.
What was done
The government says it cleared the salary backlog, paid over ₦20bn in pensions and gratuities, and moved on to implement a new ₦70,000 state minimum wage from November 2024.
Ongoing
The problem
Plateau's central Nigerian location and farmer-herder tensions left it with a long-running pattern of communal violence, concentrated in Bokkos, Mangu, Bassa and Riyom local government areas.
What was done
The administration has reviewed the state's security architecture, engaged federal military commanders and secured troop deployments, but deadly attacks have recurred throughout the term, including an August 2026 killing of 24 people in Bin Mper, Mangu.
