PLATEAU EXECUTIVE COUNCIL CELEBRATES GOVERNOR LALONG @ 58

Members of the Plateau State Executive Council have showered praises on Governor Simon Bako Lalong, describing him as a leader who has demonstrated exceptional capacity to consider the interest of others above himself.

Led by the Deputy Governor of Plateau State Prof. Sonni Gwanle Tyoden, the members of EXCO were at the residence of the Governor in Rayfield to congratulate him over his 58th birthday.

Speaking at the event, Prof. Tyoden said the special occasion is another opportunity for Plateau and Nigeria to celebrate the Governor for his humility and service to humanity.

He said Governor Lalong is a gift to Plateau State and Nigeria as he has used every opportunity in public office to serve the people particularly the vulnerable and marginalised.

Tyoden said the Rescue Administration has achieved a lot especially in the areas of peace, infrastructural development, human capital development, tourism and agriculture.

The Governor while responding expressed appreciation to members of the State Executive Council and the entire people of Plateau State who have not only supported his administration, but also prayed for him to succeed.

He said he would not have been able to achieve anything in life or even as a Governor without the support and cooperation of the people.

Chaplain of the Government House Chapel and Bishop-elect of Lafiya Diocese Rev. Fr. David Ajang prayed for the Governor and his family.
