The Management Committee Chairman of Barkin Ladi LGC, Hon. Barr. Ezekiel Mandyau said Barkin Ladi LGA in Plateau State is blessed with abundant human and material resources which need to be tapped for the growth of the Area, State and Nation.

He said the agricultural and tourism potentials as well as mineral deposits if properly harnessed are capable of reducing the overbearing dependence on oil.

He said Barkin Ladi LGA is the most tourism endowed in the State and said if the socioeconomic activities of the area are boosted they will have multiplier effect on the revenue of the area and State at large.
He said the people of the area are peaceful, welcoming and very accommodating.

On the aspect of the insecurity that has bedeviled the area, Barr. Mandyau thanked God for the relative peace being enjoyed.
He also appreciated Gov. Lalong for his tireless efforts and the constant roles he is playing through the Plateau State Peace Building Agency towards sustainable peace in Barkin Ladi LGA and the State at large.

He said he will be embarking on peace tour in all the Districts in Barkin Ladi LGA (Gashish, Ropp, Foron, Fan & Heipang) in order to engage the key stakeholders towards achieving enduring peace.

He admonished the people to embrace peace saying no meaningful progress and development can be achieved in a hostile environment.

He thanked the people of Barkin Ladi LGA for the monumental supports being accorded him since he assumed office following his appointment by the Executive Governor of Plateau State, Rt. Hon. Simon Lalong.

He also said he has greater strategies toward partnership with the people and organizations for the development of the Local Government Area.

He said he is ready to engage with the people and come up with better plans for the unity, peace, progress and development of the area within the period he will be superintending the affairs of the Council.

Barr. Ezekiel Mandyau made these disclosures at the Northern Zone Day in the ongoing Jos Trade Fair.
