November 22, 2021 No comments

Plateau State Governor Simon Bako Lalong has expressed the readiness of the State Government to partner with the Agricultural Research Institute of Nigeria (ARCN) in utilizing research findings to improve the production capacity of its farmers.

The Governor was speaking at the commissioning of an e-library, agric museum, agricultural radio and television stations as well as the foundation laying for the new administrative office for the ARCN in Abuja.

Lalong said the initiative by the Agency will go a long way in filling the gap between farmers and agricultural managers in terms of information and knowledge sharing on new farming practices, improved varieties of seeds as well as modern methods of farming using technology.

He commended the Executive Secretary of the ARCN Prof. Garba Sharubutu for his innovative approach since he assumed duties and said he was not surprised by his achievements seeing that he did a lot to make agriculture viable in Plateau State while serving as Special Adviser before his appointment by president Muhammadu Buhari.

He said with 4 Research Institutes and 2 out stations located in Plateau State, there have been so many gains which resulted in recent hosting of International Summit on potato and the flagging off of dry season wheat farming in Nigeria.

Minister of agriculture and rural development Dr. Muhammad Mahmood Abubakar said the initiatives by the ARCN are part of implementing the directives of President Buhari for Nigeria to leverage on its potentials in the agricultural sector for national development.

He challenged the Institute to push through with all the research activities and ensure that the findings are disseminated to the farmers at the grassroots for transformation in food production.

Chairman Senate Committee on Agriculture Abdullahi Adamu and Senate Deputy Chief Whip Senator Sabi Abdullahi expressed the determination of the National Assembly to ensure that the programmes and projects of the ARCN succeed because of the significance of research in every endeavour particularly agriculture.

Executive Secretary of ARCN Prof. Garba Sharubutu said the organisation under his leadership will continue to do its best to come up with quality research that goes to the field and not only end up on the shelves.

This he said was why the institute came up with the idea of the library, museum and broadcast stations to properly disseminate the outcome of research and get feedback from farmers and other members of the public.

He thanked Governor Lalong for his support and said the ARCN will not relent in partnering with the Plateau State government to boost agriculture and harness all the untapped potentials.

Plateau remain home to all - Lalong

November 20, 2021 No comments

By Golok Nanmwa , Jos

Governor Simon Lalong has pledged the support of the Plateau State Government to the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS) Kuru, Jos as it continues to churn out policies for the peace and development of the nation.

The Governor who was speaking at the graduation of Executive Course 43 of NIPSS in Jos said Plateau State remains excited to host the Institute which has been producing many research findings and outstanding personalities that have shaped policies of various administrations in Nigeria.

He said most of the participants at the Institute are not only great assets for the nation, but Ambassadors of Plateau State who on posting for the course are reluctant in coming out of fear of the unknown, but on completion of studies, find it difficult to leave Jos. Many according to him have built houses in Jos and have settled down thereby correcting the wrong narratives of crises and choas wrongly attached to the State.

Lalong said Plateau State has experienced substantial peace with the help of many stakeholders such as NIPSS. This he said has brought in more investment and facilitated the introduction of a shuttle flight from Abuja that is recieving high patronage.

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo who delivered the message of President Muhammadu Buhari said the work of the participants over the years has continued to impact governance by shaping policies and interrogating areas of challenges the nation is facing.

He said with the output of the Institute, many contemporary issues such as COVID-19 have been addressed in a proactive manner that is making the nation cope well and work at recovering from the impact.

Acting Director General of the Institute Brig. Gen Udaya Rtd. said the Executive Course 43 participants went through rigorous research that took them to many States in Nigeria as well as countries in Africa and other parts of the world.

He said they have since submitted their report to the President for consideration and implementation.

VICE PRESIDENT OSINBAJO, GOVERNOR LALONG PAY LAST RESPECT TO LATE CAPT DIN

November 20, 2021 No comments

The vice President Yemi Osinbajo has described the late Captain Joseph Mangtup Din as a man who stood for justice, fairness and equity in all his dealings.

The Vice President said this at the funeral service for the late Capt. Din held at the COCIN Headquarters Church in Jos, Plateau State.

Prof. Osinbajo recalled his fond memories of late Capt. Din who he said was a very disciplined man who opposed and fought injustice in any form to the extent that he became familiar with legal jargons, though not a lawyer by training.

According to him, this action reinforced his belief in democracy and the rule of law which promoted the recourse to civil channels in resolving conflicts rather than people taking the laws into their hands.

He also said the deceased was very hardworking, industrious and generous as he built bridges across the nation, holding on to long relationships with friends of many years including President Muhammadu Buhari.

Governor Simon Lalong in a remark described the late elderstatesman as a man of integrity who worked for the peace and political stability of Plateau State and Nigeria at large.

He said as the Chairman of the APC elders committee in Plateau State, the late Capt. Din did a lot to ensure the victory of the party and also see to its performance in various fields. He said he will miss the invaluable counsel and wisdom which he offered freely.

President-elect Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN) Rev Dr. Amos Mohzho said death is a bad news, but it can also be good news for those whose ways are upright and are guaranteed salvation.

He said the deceased lived a fruitful and godly life where he served God and blessed people with his resources and talents.

Widow of the deceased Mrs. Christiana Din said the death of her husband with whom she has been married for 54 years is very painful but she is strengthened by the testimonies of his service to God and humanity.

She said her life with him has been memorable as he was a patient, honest, kind, and generous person who never failed to carry other people's burdens.

BREAKING NEWS:I never signed not stamped any letter of resignation - Hon Abok Nuhu Ayuba

18th November, 2021.

It is no news that the House of assembly was vandalized some days ago and the imposture and self acclaimed speaker with government approval moved a resolution to move the house sittings into the government house

This must-have been part of their efforts and clandestine plans to access the letter headed papers of my office and get someone who could doctor my signature to make it appear as if i did resign

I never authored that document

The purported impeachment was said to be 28/20/21

Even after that Day I have responded to their press statement ... I couldn't have still been fighting.

Why will i then be writing resignation after that time

Again, that was the same day i entered the house to make a video to the whole world... Why will it be on that same day that I will do such writing

There Is an ongoing suit with my loyal members... I would have carried them along if any such decision was made.

The plateau people have alot of confidence in me. I couldn't sale their birth right for anything

The fight on this is a plateau fight... Bigger than me and the 12 of us …so we are committed to fight to the last and to victory to democracy and plateau

I cannot do a letter and put a signature and stamp of received again.

Letter not addressed to anyone in particular .. l would have addressed and typed it nicely and cannot be seen fighting the still.

If they had the letter as at 1st or 2nd November 2021 why bring it out on 18/11/2021? They would have been happy to produce it as early as possible

They crafted doing this forgery as a distraction plan for the plateau people

So did they impeach me or did I resign?

If they said they impeached me as 28/10/21 why will i need to resign? Resign from what?

So.. what they are working with now... Is it a resignation or purported impeachment?

The two cannot work hand in hand or together at all

They have not been able to plan well to do this mischief

If their schemers were smart enough, they would have planned better for them.. and not make them look confused and like fools in this whole prank and childish display of foolishness

The Plateau State Executive Council has expressed warm felicitations to the First Lady of Plateau State, Her Excellency, Mrs. Regina Simon Bako Lalong on the occasion of her birthday.

The Council rejoices with the Mother of the State for marking another year, describing the occasion as an auspicious one that calls for Thanksgiving to God for his faithfulness in her life and her family.

It particularly expressed delight that the First Lady has over the years devoted her life to the service of humanity by focussing on the welfare and wellbeing of women, children and the vulnerable.

Using her non-governmental organisation, SWITCH Foundation, the First Lady has trained and empowered thousands of women and youths, including the girl child. This has reduced poverty, provided social education and emancipated them from some negative societal practices that impinge on their rights.

Her Excellency has also offered assistance to many indigent girls by sponsoring their education and also ensuring that they choose career paths that will give them a brighter future and make them good citizens of Plateau State and Nigeria as a whole.

The First Lady's passion for fight against drug and substance abuse among youths has similarly received tremendous accolades as she has done so much to support relevant government agencies through her foundation to discourage access, abuse and distribution of drugs in Plateau State, Northern Nigeria and the entire country. She has also made afforts at ensuring the rehabilitation of those under the influence of harmful substances.

Apart from her role as the Public Relations Officer of the Northern Governors Wives Forum, the Plateau State Government is also appreciative of Her Excellency's support to the Executive Governor who has been holding forth at the family front and giving moral and spiritual backing to her husband to continue with the Rescue Mission and taking Plateau State to greater heights.

The Exco wishes her a joyous celebration and prays that God will give her many more years of good health, peace and divine protection.

PRESS RELEASE: PLATEAU STATE YOUTH COUNCIL (PYC)

13.11.2021

In view of the leadership tussle in the Plateau State House of Assembly, it has become imperative for the leadership of the Plateau State Youth Council to make certain statements in the overall interest of Plateau state.

It may interest Plateau Youths and by extension, Plateau people to know that the state leadership of the Plateau state Youth Council in its wisdom has extensively engaged the two factions in the house of Assembly and also the executive and have full knowledge of the politics going on in the house of Assembly. Therefore, the leadership of the Plateau State Youth council wishes to:

1: Call on Plateau people to remain calm and exercise restraints on actions that are capable of further escalating the matter.

2: Call on both factions in the House of Assembly with very resounding voice to sheath their swords and give peace a chance by embracing the dialogue table in settling their differences, to enable the house begin full legislative business to deliberate on issues that affect the state in the general interest of Plateau state.

3: Call on politicians and individuals who have derived pleasure in taking advantage of the situation for their selfish gains to desist and take their hands off as members of the House of Assembly are capable of settling their differences.

4: Call on external forces and factors who are further fueling the leadership crisis by overheating the polity just with the aim of placing Plateau State in the media for the wrong reasons, thereby giving the state a bad image, to as a matter of urgency, allow members of the house of Assembly to handle their matter as it is purely a Plateau issue and tussle for leadership within the members of the House of assembly.

5: Call on both factions in the House of Assembly to stop overheating the system for political gains and approach the courts just as it has been confirmed to the PYC leadership by leader of one of the factions that they have approached the courts on areas where necessary to get justice on areas where injustice are perceived as the court is the only institution saddled with the responsibility of administrating justice and determining what is wrong and right.

6: Call on the judiciary to treat every case before it especially as it relates to the leadership tussle in the House of Assembly with every sense of seriousness by ensuring that the process is expedite and justice dispensed at the end of the day, for the overall good of Plateau people.

Conclusively, the leadership of the Youth Council is glad that during its engagements with the parties involved in the matter, assurances were given by all parties that the issues are being resolved within the members and will be laid to rest in no distant time.

The leadership of the Plateau state Youth council wishes to assure Plateau Youths of council's continuous readiness and commitment to working assiduously to ensure that both parties come to terms and resolve their differences and giving Plateau Youths the best of representation now and in the future.

SPEAKER RT HON. YAKUBU SANDA PRESIDES OVER PLENARY AS HOUSE LAMENTS DESTRUCTION AT ASSEMBLY COMPLEX; SEEKS ALTERNATIVE FACILITY AND IMMEDIATE REPAIRS OF COMPLEX.

Plateau State House of Assembly has condemned the destruction that occured in the house following the recent upheavals in the Assembly, leading to vandalization of many items that has made the House facilities, particularly the hallowed chambers unsuitable for legislative business.

To this end, the House has passed a resolution seeking to move its legislative business to the Chambers of the Old Government House, pending the repairs of the damaged and vandalised facilities in its hallowed Chamber.

This followed a resolution arising from a motion moved by Majority Leader Hon. Naanlong Daniel seeking the intervention of the Governor to provide an alternative facility for their legislative business and also facilitate the repairs of various parts of the Assembly complex which were destroyed by hoodlums recently. The motion was unanimously supported by members.

At the House sitting which was presided over by the Speaker Rt. Hon. Yakubu Sanda on Friday 12th November 2021, the Honourable members lamented the unfortunate developments that occured after the change of leadership where hoodlums gained access to the house including the hallowed chambers and caused serious damages.

The House which was billed to begin deliberations on the 2022 Appropriation Bill and the request for confirmation of the extension of appointment of Chairman and Members of the Plateau State Independent Electoral Commission, PLASIEC, had to stand down the items on the Order Paper because of the deplorable nature of the chambers.

Speaker Rt. Hon. Yakubu Sanda assured that the House will soon regain stability as the events of the recent past are under control and the new leadership of the House under him is doing everything possible to ensure that lost ground is regained and the business of law making and oversight for the good of the Plateau people is carried out seamlessly.

Before adjourning, the House appreciated the support of the good people of Plateau State who have remained calm and prayed for the quick resolution of the recent upheavals in the House, assuring that they will always act in the interest of the people at all times.

RELEASE RESPONSE TO A TEXT BRIEFING HELD AT FOURTEEN UNIT OLD GOVERNMENT HOUSE ON 11th NOVEMBER, 2021 BY HON. NA'ANLONG DANIEL GAPYIL, MEMBER OF PLATEAU STATE HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY

Issued on 12th November, 2021

Protocol

Constitution – Section 92(2c) (c) if he is removed from office by a resolution of House of Assembly by the votes of not less than two-third majority of the members of the House

Our emphasis – Votes of not less than two-third majority. Resolution for removal of presiding officers in Plateau State House of Assembly shall be by sixteen Honourable Members during plenary.

Standing Orders of Plateau House of Assembly, 2021- Order 7 Rule 14 (biii) - Where the resolution of the House is that the allegation be investigated, an ad-hoc Committee comprising Members of all the political parties represented in the House shall be constituted to investigate the allegation.

7 Rule 14 (biv) – The Committee so constituted, shall request the holder of the office under investigation to respond in writing and such response shall form part of the Report of the Committee.

Evidences:

1. Videos

2. Standing orders, 2021

3. CFRN, 1999 As altered

4. Fund Management Law

5. Relevant Votes and proceedings

6. Minutes of Funds Management Committee meeting

7. Hansard

We the undersigned wonder why Hon. Naanlong Daniel Gapyil struggles to explain due process for removal of presiding officers in State Houses of Assembly as enshrined in Section 92(2c) of the 1999 CFRN as altered. We want the general public to be aware that Hon. Naanlong Daniel Gapyil was privileged to undergo series of intensive Legislative trainings on House Rules and procedures of Legislative Business who was the custodian of House Rules and Business because of his Former position as Rules, Business, Inter Governmental and Inter Parliamentary Committee.

Beloved Press Team and public, from this attached video, you can conduct simple investigation on the number of people that conducted the purported and botched impeachment of Rt. Hon. Abok Nuhu Ayuba on 28th October, 2021. This evidence-based video is enough to clarify the issue of numbers and procedures for removal of presiding officers. We still condemn this coup on the Plateau and Bad Legislative practice.

It could be recalled that Hon. Naanlong Daniel Gapyil moved a motion of vote of confidence on Rt. Hon. Abok Nuhu Ayuba in December, 2019 and July, 2021. We deemed it fit to let the general public know that if there were dictatorial tendencies, gross incompetence, financial mismanagement and other false allegations as raised by Mr. Naanlong Gapyil then he wouldn’t have moved these votes of confidence. We wish to also inform the public that it was Hon. Naanlong Gapyil that moved a motion for the House to go for one month recess from August to September, 2021 after passing a vote of confidence on Mr. Speaker in the plenary before the recess.

Let’s put the record straight that Plateau State House of Assembly Fund Management Law provided that the fund Management Committee sits quarterly, we still wonder why Hon. Naanlong and cohorts have not raised allegations on financial misappropriation for the past quarters that the Committee has met. We want to add that the Committee held it last meeting in August, 2021 and Hon. Naanlong Daniel Gapyil was a in attendance as Member of the Committee. Note: The Fund Management Committee replaced the Finance and General Purpose Committee (F&GPC)

We shall hold Hon. Naanlong Gapyil responsible to explain the issue of fake mace in PLHA in connection to their failed impeachment that took place 0600hrs on 28th October, 2021 with a borrowed mace from LGA. We are determined to protect PLHA.

We want to give the general public notice that there is a calculated attempt to vandalize PLHA by some paid hoodlums with the intention to use it as an excuse to provide another venue for plenary that cannot be accessibly by twelve of us. The illegal Speaker under the influence of Governme
