GOVERNOR LALONG CONDOLES PLATEAU YORUBA COMMUNITY OVER DEMISE OF CHIEF TOYE OGUNSUYI

Governor Simon Bako Lalong has commiserated with the Yoruba community and people of Plateau State over the demise of former President-General of the Yoruba Community in Plateau State, Chief Toye Ogunsuyi who died at the age of 88.

Governor Lalong in a condolence message said the octogenarian’s death was a great loss to the people of Plateau State, particularly the Yoruba community which he served and led for many years.

Lalong said Chief Toye Ogunsuyi is one of the leaders that consistently fought for peace, justice and harmony in Plateau State by galvanising people of different tribes, faiths and political persuations to respect one another and live in peace.

The Governor said Baba, who was one time Deputy President General of Yoruba in the North played a key role in diffusing tension during the period of crises in Jos and also ensured that the process of reconciliation, forgiveness and confidence-building was consolidated.

Lalong also said Chief Ogunsuyi worked hard to ensure that the culture of entrepreneurship, hardwork and honesty remained paramount among the Yoruba community as well as the entire people of the State particularly the youths whom he always encouraged to shun idleness, laziness and violence.

While commiserating with his immediate family, Governor Lalong urged the Yoruba community in Plateau State to uphold his legacies by carrying on from where he stopped in making Plateau State a great place and home to all.

By Justin Jattim A non-profit organization dedicated to the empowerment, education, and economic upliftment of vulnerable women and youth impacted by banditry, kidnapping, and insurgency in Nigeria, the Scarlet Cord Initiative, has extended its work to Gumel in Kachia, southern Kaduna. There, it held a two-day holistic empowerment programme for about 100 traumatized women. The programme included skills training, mentorship, trauma psycho-support, and advocacy. The event, which took place in a vibrant hall in Gora, began with a simple ball of yarn passed from hand to hand, weaving a visible web of connection among the 100 selected widows. These women shared the experience of losing their husbands to violent attacks. This was not a craft lesson, but the opening act of a profound tra...
