By Justin Jattim

The Hon. Commissioner Ministry For Local Government And Chieftaincy Affairs Plateau State - Hon. Silvanus Dankano Tapgun made critical Observations by law, clearing the air around speculations of the State Governor His Excellence Rt. Hon. Dr. Barr. Simon Bako Lalong meddling around with Local Government funds to finance critical sectors in government.

Thursday 14th January 2021, The Commissioner in appreciation and Welcome, entertained the Plateau Publishers Association (PPA) and its members at the Ministries Conference Hall. 
Cognitive to the above mentioned, the Hon. Commissioner explained on grounds of Law that percentages were agreed that some Local Government funds be used to fund the activities of Plateau State University (PLASU), BOKKOS and the likes of Operation Rainbow which is to aid Growth and Development in the State. This was agreed and passed to law by the Plateau State House of Assembly.

Adding up to shade more light, Hon Silvanus Dankano Tapgun made reference to the #30,000 Minimum Wage saying, Governor Lalong did not ascribe "Governor Alart" to himself, the very Workers did. Governor Simon B. Lalong paid salaries meant to be Paid.

Moreover, monies allocated to the Local Government are realised directly from Abuja, how does Lalong get involved in the meddling? He gives what belongs to his people.

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...

THE MALIGN AND SENSELESS ATTACK ON SENATOR TIMOTHY ADUDU WITH THE SOLE AIM OF DISCREDITING HIM FOR SINISTER AGENDA PRESS RELEASE  With the current political development in Plateau State in relation to the tremendous political appointments granted by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to lots of our citizens and with some on their way coming, a group of people who felt threatened by achievements of others have embarked on sponsorship of maligners to carry out their nefarious agenda against the achievers to secure political edge and relevance.  It came to our notice that a writeup polluting the social media with falsehood, targets to destroy the hard earned image of Senator Timothy Adudu who is a member representing  North-Central zone at the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency, FERMA. The write-up described him as incompetent and nonchalant towards promoting the All Progressives Congress, APC, the party that gave him the appointment, even threatening to report him to Mr....
