Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang recently launched an e-governance platform to enhance transparency, efficiency, and accountability within the state. This initiative was revealed in a statement released on Monday by his Director of Press and Public Affairs, Gyang Bere.
The statement read, “In a message to inaugurate the platform today, April 29th, 2024, Governor Mutfwang emphasised its role in promoting citizen-government interaction, courtesy of a donation from Mr. Hephzibah Integrated Technologies Ltd.
“The platform, accessible via the toll-free line (08000005555) and http://egov.plateaustate.gov.ng/, allows citizens to provide feedback, request services, and engage with government agencies, thereby contributing to the administration’s effectiveness.
Furthermore, the governor encouraged the public to utilise the platform to engage the government and to offer information, opinions on policies, and inquiries on service offerings from MDAs while receiving timely feedback.
“Enumerating the benefits of the platform, Governor Mutfwang highlighted increased efficiency, convenience, transparency, accountability, improved communication, engagement, and cost-saving for Plateau citizens.
“Operated under the Plateau State Information and Communication Technology Development Agency (PICTDA), led by Director General Mr. Datong Dominic Gwamnan, the platform is a critical tool for enhancing efficiency, transparency, and accessibility to government services,” the statement said.
