GOVERNOR LALONG CONGRATULATES ITF DG, SIR JOSEPH ARI AT 60
Governor Simon Lalong has felicitated with Director General of the Industrial Training Fund (ITF) Sir Joseph Ari on his 60th birthday. 

Governor Lalong in a statement, described Sir. Joseph Ari as an achiever who has utilised every opportunity that God has offered him over the years to make positive impact in the lives of many.

Lalong said Joseph Ari has passed through the difficulties of life and patiently surmounted many challenges to rise to positions of leadership both in the Plateau State and the country.

He said "his performance as Director General of the ITF does not surprise us because he exhibited dexterity, diligence and loyalty during while he held various offices within the State structure before joining the ITF and eventually being appointed to head the institution. He has since turned around the fortunes of the organisation and repositioned it for higher job creation and manpower development"

Lalong said the Rescue Administration has continued to benefit from the partnership and collaboration with the ITF in fulfilling its mandate of economic empowerment through training thousands of youths and women in various vocations thereby reducing unemployment. 

While wishing him more years of God's protection, divine health and favour, Lalong urged Joseph Ari to continue using every opportunity to reach out to persons in need as he has done through the years.

Dr. Makut Simon Macham 
Director of Press & Public Affairs to the Governor of Plateau State.
