PLATEAU ELDERS FORUM HEARTILY CONGRATULATES SEN.SIMON DAVOU MWADKON PhD.

The Plateau Elders Forum (PEF), a non-partisan stakeholders organization, under the Chairmanship of Amb. (Dr.) Yahaya Kwande, OON, hereby wishes to congratulate Senator Dr. Simon Davou Mwadkon, (PDP, Plateau North), on his recent election as the Minority Leader of the 10th Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Senator Mwadkon is a man of enviable political antecedents in Plateau State and the country at large and we have absolutely no doubt that he will perform the duties of his new office excellently well to give this nation the Senate of which to be proud. Senator Mwadkon brings to Nigerian politics a brilliant theoretical understanding of its complex filaments as a foremost political science scholar and former university lecturer.

We also wish to appreciate the members of the 10th Senate for finding this Plateau State-born erudite politician worthy of being elected into this key position in the leadership of the upper chamber of the National Assembly.

It shall be recalled that during the run up to the elections in the National Assembly, the Plateau Elders Forum rooted for either of the two members of the House of Representatives from Plateau State who had openly come out to canvass their interest in the Speakership position. Unfortunately, both candidates failed to get it due to their partys zoning to another state.

It is therefore truly gratifying that Plateau State is now well represented in the National Assembly leadership by the Distinguished Senator Simon Mwadkon.

They Killed My Husband, Not My Mind”: Widows Reclaim Hope Through Scarlet Cord Initiative In Southern Kaduna, trauma-healed widows are turning grief into business ideas and resilience into economic power.

Widows Reclaim Hope Through Scarlet Cord Initiative In Southern Kaduna, trauma-healed widows are turning grief into business ideas and resilience into economic power. 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

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....
