Governor of Plateau State, Caleb Mutfwang, has expressed sadness over the death of the former Military Administrator of the state, Colonel Muhammad Mana (Rtd.).
Marina died after a brief illness on Saturday, August 22, 2025.
In a heartfelt condolence message, signed by the Director of Press, Bere Gyang, Mutfwang described the death of Colonel Mana as a monumental loss, not only to his immediate family but also to the people of Plateau State and Nigeria at large.
He recalled Colonel Mana’s remarkable service to the nation, first as the Military Administrator of Plateau State between 1993 and 1996, and later as Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, representing Adamawa North Senatorial District. The Governor praised him as a fountain of knowledge, a bridge-builder, and a leader whose immense contributions shaped policies and actions that advanced national development.
Mutfwang further noted with pride the selfless and impactful contributions of the late administrator during his tenure in Plateau State, stressing that his footprints of development remain visible across the state. He also commended Mana’s crucial role in promoting peace, unity, and national cohesion during and beyond his time in office.
According to the Governor, the transition of Col. Mana has created a painful void, especially at a time when his wisdom, counsel, and patriotic guidance are greatly needed in Nigeria’s journey toward greatness. He, however, urged the family and associates of the late statesman to take solace in the enduring legacy of his exemplary life of service.
On behalf of his family, the government, and the good people of Plateau State, Governor Mutfwang extended his deepest condolences to the family of the late Senator Muhammad Mana, praying that the Almighty God will grant them comfort, strength, and peace during this difficult time.
