Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang has appointed John Ladan to replace Ferdinand Mbum, as the new General Manager of Mighty Jets FC as part of changes to the club’s management structure.

The governor has also appointed Nura Ibrahim Nakargo as the new Assistant General Manager, replacing Salisu Nakande..

The changes were announced in a press release dated November 5, 2026, and signed by the Secretary to the State Government, Arc. Samuel N. Jatau.

According to the statement, the management review is part of the state government’s commitment to reviving Mighty Jets and restoring the club to its former position in Nigerian football.

Both outgoing officials have been directed to hand over all club property, documents and records in their possession to the new General Manager. They are expected to complete the handover within seven days of receiving the notification.

The government also acknowledged the contributions of Mbum and Nakande, expressing appreciation for their services to Mighty Jets and Plateau State.

The latest appointments represent a change in the club’s administrative leadership as the state government looks to strengthen its operations and provide a new direction for its development.

Mighty Jets, one of Plateau State’s historic football clubs, has remained an important part of the state’s football identity. The government’s stated intention to revive the club places renewed attention on the work required to improve its structure and restore its standing.

For the incoming management team, the task will involve taking charge of the club’s administration and working towards the objectives set out by the state government.

With Ladan and Nakargo now appointed to the two positions, attention will turn to how the new leadership approaches the rebuilding process and the steps it takes to move Mighty Jets forward.
