In a genuine effort to tackle the persistent transportation challenges in Plateau State, Governor Barrister Caleb Mutfwang made bold moves to resuscitate train services that had been abandoned for over three decades. Against the odds, he brought back the old rail system, refurbished it, and successfully put it back to use.
Yet, rather than appreciating this milestone, some individuals—ironically among those already benefitting from the service—took to social media to launch attacks when the train developed a minor mechanical hitch. Instead of commending the effort or offering constructive suggestions, they chose to mock the initiative, branding the train as “old” and “obsolete.”
This kind of attitude raises a critical question: how can we as a people truly develop when we allow partisan bitterness and cheap politicking to overshadow genuine progress? Development is never perfect at the start; it grows through trials, corrections, and improvements. What matters most is leadership that dares to take the first step—and a people willing to support and build upon it.
If every attempt at progress is only met with ridicule rather than encouragement, then we are not just undermining a government, but sabotaging our own future.
