THE COLLOQUIUM 2.0 IN HONOR OF PROF. NENTAWE YILWATDA GOSHWE THE NATIONAL CHAIRMAN OF THE ALL PROGRESSIVE CONGRESS APC

Yesterday, 6th August 2026, was a day I will forever cherish.

I was privileged to be part of the committee that worked tirelessly to organize and successfully honour our father, leader and mentor, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda Goshwe, National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), at THE COLLOQUIUM 2.0, themed “Catalyzing Nigeria into a $1 Trillion Economy.”

For me, this was more than just an event. It was a moment of pride, honour, gratitude and reflection.

Seeing our father celebrated alongside his beloved wife, Prof. Martina Nentawe Yilwatda Goshwe, members of the Yilwatda family, distinguished leaders, professionals, friends and well-wishers was truly inspiring.

The occasion was graced by His Excellency Barr. Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang, Executive Governor of Plateau State, ably represented by Her Excellency NGO Josephine Piyo, Deputy Governor; the Secretary to the Government of Plateau State, Arc. Samuel Nanchang Jatau; the National Secretary of the APC; the Chairman of the APC Governors Forum, His Excellency Dist. Sen. Hope Odidika Uzodinma, ably represented by the Honourable Minister of Mines and Steel Development; the Honourable Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, Pharm. Dr. Bernard Mohammed Dogo; the Speaker of the Plateau State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Naanlong Daniel Gapyil; PDP Gubernatorial Candidate Kefas Wungak Ropshik (Kefiano); APC Senatorial Candidate for Plateau Central, Hon. David Barji, and many other distinguished dignitaries.

But beyond the glamour, speeches and presence of dignitaries, the occasion carried a deeper meaning.

It was a celebration of impact.

Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda Goshwe has mentored, inspired and empowered many young people on the Plateau and beyond. He has been a father, a leader, a mentor and a source of encouragement to many.

Being part of the team that helped make this memorable occasion possible is something I am deeply grateful for. Every sacrifice, every planning session, every late night and every effort behind the scenes was worth it.

Yesterday, we did more than organize an event.

We celebrated a man.

We celebrated his journey.

We celebrated his impact.

Dr. Bunshak Speaks on Kanke Development

For too long our local government has existed only in name, present on paper but unfortunately oblivious in reality. We have waited for Federal presence, hoped for State intervention and watched development pass us by, but history teaches us a hard truth that no community is rescued until it decides to rescue itself I am not aspiring because our local government is strong but because together we can give it a Face . I am not promising miracles from Abuja or the State capital but I am promising leadership that starts here, listens here, and works from here Development does not begin with big allocations, it begins with honest leadership, clear priorities, and the courage to use little resources wisely What makes me an option to consider is not noise or connections, but understanding. I understand the pain of bad roads because I use them. I understand insecurity because my people live with it. I understand poverty because I have seen potentials wasted, not because our people are la...

Hon. Manji Gontori the best asset for any society by Goleng De Emancipator

FOOTPRINTS Great leaders are great not because of their possessions and portfolios but they posses the ability to see beyond today, they envision the future and carefully work towards giving the led a better future. A great leader is a visionary leader and he envision a city in the wilderness. Hon Manji Gontori is by far different from the usual leaders we have been producing on the plateau over time, most of the leaders we have are either self centered, vision less, and tribalistic with no passion for the plateau project. Hon Manji Gontori is determined to go beyond talking, but rather working the plateau project, unlike others, this is severally demonstrated in his actions and speech, in fact his body language is clear about this. This alone have endeared a lot of people to him and his likes can only be compared with late J. D Gomwalk of blessed memory. A true leader is pragmatic in approach and this is also examplify in the life of Hon Manji Gontori, he knows what he want...
