GOVERNOR LALONG CONGRATULATES PLATEAU LEGISLATURE/NATIONAL ASSEMBLY FOR TWO YEARS IN OFFICE
Plateau State Governor and Chairman of the Northern Governors Forum, Rt. Hon. Simon Bako Lalong has congratulated the Speaker and Honourable members of the Plateau State House of Assembly for their doggedness in carrying out their legislative functions which have strengthened democracy in the State in the last two years.
Governor Lalong described the 9th Plateau House of Assembly under the leadership of Speaker Abok Nuhu Ayuba as very proactive and collaborative in the governance of the State.
He commended them for passing critical laws that have direct bearing on the people and also carrying out robust oversight of the Executive which has strengthened accountability and transparency in governance.
While urging them to redouble their efforts in carrying out their duties and responding to the needs of their constituents, the Governor assured them of the support and collaboration of the Executive towards improving the living standards of the citizens and providing security and peace.
On autonomy, the Governor assured them that the Executive has been very positive towards implementation which explains why even before the recent agitation, many aspects of Autonomy have been implemented with just a few aspects to be tidied up once modalities are worked out.
Similarly, the Governor has also congratulated the leadership and members of the National Assembly for marking two years in office.
Governor Lalong extended warm felicitations to the Senate President Ahmad Lawan and other distinguished Senators as well as Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila and Honourable Members of the House of Representatives.
He said as members of the 9th National Assembly, they have shown passion and commitment to the economic and socio-political development by passing many laws and giving several approvals towards tackling national challenges such as insecurity.
Lalong urged them to write their names in gold by carrying out a thorough review and alteration of the 1999 Constitution by ensuring that the wishes of the people are reflected for a better Nigeria.
