The announcement, made by the Governor's Director of Press and Public Affairs, Gyang Bere, brings great pride to both the state and the nation.

Hailing from the capital city of Plateau State, Jos, Mikel's journey to success began at a young age. Starting off at his local club, Plateau United, he quickly caught the eye of talent scouts and embarked on a remarkable career. At just 17 years old, he made the bold move to join Norwegian club, Lyn Oslo, in 2004.

Mikel's time at Chelsea was nothing short of extraordinary. He achieved numerous accolades with the club, including triumphs in prestigious competitions like the UEFA Champions League and Europa League. This feat alone solidified his status as a true footballing legend.

On the international stage, Mikel proudly represented Nigeria for an impressive span of 14 years. During this time, he played a crucial role in Nigeria's victory in the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations, bringing glory to his beloved nation.

Having made 91 appearances for his country and scoring six goals, Mikel's skill and dedication are undeniable. His appointment as Honorary Adviser on Sports not only recognizes his exceptional career but also acknowledges his vast knowledge and experience in the world of football.

This is an exciting development for Plateau State, as Mikel brings a wealth of wisdom and expertise to the table. With his guidance and passion for the game, we can expect great strides in the sporting realm under the leadership of Governor Caleb Mutfwang.
