Press Release
COMMENDATION TO PLATEAU HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY FOR ASSENTING TO BILLS
Nigeria as a developing nation is in dire need of strong institutions credible enough to guarantee positive democratic transformation and development. This is because the present structures and architecture upon which the nation’s democracy is operating are weak and needs to be strengthened and reactivated in order to compete favorably well with the rest of the Democratic World.
The legislative arm of government at all levels (Local, State and Federal) has critical roles to play to bring about democratic transformation and growth to our nascent democracy.
It is in line with the aforementioned that Plateau Youth G-17 Peace and Progressive Forum relays its profound and immeasurable appreciation to the Plateau State House of Assembly for assenting to the Bills forwarded to it by the National Assembly in the ongoing Constitutional amendment especially the Local government autonomy, Not too young to run and other critical bills.
This gesture by the Plateau State House of Assembly is highly commendable, worthy of applause and emulation by other Houses of Assembly who are yet to do the needful on the Bills.
These Bills are sensitive and vital to national growth and development. Passing them has the propensity of improving lives of the citizens, transforming the system, putting in place reliable and workable structures on ground and bringing growth in geometric progression to Nigeria.
We wish to also commend Plateau State Chapter of the Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees under the leadership of Cmr. Samson Mafuyai, Nigeria Labour Congress, Nigeria Union of Teachers, CYPA Executive Director Chris Iyama, Plateau Youths, other Unions and Civil Society Organizations for their dexterity and lobbying through healthy and constructive engagements towards ensuring the Bills are assented to.
We will continue to contribute our best towards national interest, peace, unity, cohesion, prosperity and development.
Once again we commend the Plateau State House of Assembly for their resolve in passing the Bill and listening to the masses they represents.
Thanks and God bless.
Mr. Dachung Musa Bagos
Convener, Plateau Youth G-17 Peace and Progress Forum
