Barrister Caleb Mutfwang, the governor of Plateau State, has launched the state’s e-governance platform.
The goal of the e-governance platform is to promote accountable, transparent, and efficient state governance.
This was revealed by the governor in a statement released on Monday by Gyang Bere, his director of press and public affairs.
“Governor Mutfwang stressed the platform’s role in fostering citizen-government interaction in a message to inaugurate it today, April 29, 2024, thanks to a donation from Mr. Hephzibah Integrated Technologies Ltd.,” the announcement stated.
“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.
