The Executive Chairman Qua’an-Pan LGC, Hon. Ernest Abner Da’a, on 15th June, 2022 described His Excellency, the Governor of Plateau State, Rt. Hon. Barr. Simon Bako Lalong KSGG, as a compassionate Leader.



Hon. Da’a stated this while speaking at the presentation of a cash donation of Ten Million Naira (N10m), by the Governor of Plateau State and Chairman Northern Governors Forum (NGF) Rt.  Hon. Barr. Simon Bako Lalong KSGG, to victims of the fire disaster that had engulfed Namu Yam Market in Namu.

Hon Da'a stated that the "Governor distinguished himself as a leader with a large heart, when he visited and inspected the scene of the inferno, consoled with the entire Namu District, and has today redeemed the pledge he made during the visit”



“It is our prayer that God will continue to guide and protect Governor Lalong and grant him his bid for the seat of the Senator representing Plateau South Senatorial Zone. We also pray that God will bless the Governor with greater responsibility that is above the Senatorial seat," Hon. Da'a added.


The Executive Chairman, however appealed for the completion of the reconstruction of the major road within the locality.


His Excellency, the Governor of Plateau State and Chairman Northern Governors Forum (NGF), Rt. Hon. Barr. Simon Bako Lalong KSGG was represented at the presentation ceremony by the Commissioner for Agriculture, Dr. Hosea Fanangwai, who informed that the Governor would have loved to come in person, but due to the exigencies of office.

He added that because the Governor didn’t want to delay the donation in the face of the untold hardship the fire disaster has caused the people, he decided to delegate him.

“As a listening and people oriented Governor, he has deemed it fit to intervene by sending me here with a token to give you so that it will cushion the effect of this particular challenge.”
