The forum congratulated Mustapha in a statement by its Chairman and governor of Plateau, Simon Lalong, in a statement issued by his Spokesperson, Dr Makut Macham, on Sunday in Jos.
Lalong described the SGF as one of the nation’s finest gentlemen, who had deep faith and passion for the unity, development and stability of Nigeria.
He eulogised the celebrant describing him as a political leader with foresight and capacity to effectively engage, network and mobilise people irrespective of their backgrounds.
He said the forum commended his level of transparency, focus and dignity in office, which had enhanced governance and service delivery.
“Boss Mustapha remains one of the shining lights of the North who is doing his best in ensuring that President Muhammadu Buhari fulfills his intentions for Nigeria.
“Boss Mustapha who is an accomplished lawyer, technocrat and Public servant, has demonstrated high level of competence, responsibility and reliability in handling the engine room of Government under President Muhammadu Buhari,” he said.
The chairman said the forum would continue to draw from his wealth of experience and also enjoy his support towards addressing the challenges facing the region.
He wished him many more years of God’s blessings and divine protection.
