GOVERNOR LALONG INSTALLS 2 TRADITIONAL RULERS IN WASE, URGES THEM TO WORK FOR ENHANCED SECURITY.
Plateau State Governor Simon Bako Lalong says traditional rulers need to play a greater role in enhancing the security of their domains and the entire nation.
Governor Lalong stated this on Tuesday, 30th March 2021 while installing two second class Chiefs in Wase Local Government Area of Plateau State. The Chiefs are Chief Lot Nden, Ponzhi Kadarko Chiefdom and Alh. Muhammad Asi, Aku-Jukun of Mavo Chiefdom.
While presenting the staffs of office to the two traditional rulers after they took the oath of allegiance, Governor Lalong said the restoration of the two Chiefdoms was in fulfilment of his campaign promise and the desire to meet the yearnings of the people in the spirit of equity and justice.
He charged them to bear in mind the fact that this honour is a huge burden which must be discharged with diligence, honesty, justice and the fear of God.
He said “With the Staffs of Office in your hands, you cease to be champions of one particular clan, tribe, denomination or religion. You are fathers to all that reside in your domains irrespective of where they come from. Always remember that the traditional institution has played and will continue to play a significant role in the peace, unity, progress and security of Plateau State. These are the virtues we expect you to promote and uphold as we consolidate on the peaceful ambience we have worked hard to restore which is bringing back Plateau to its place as the Home of Peace and Tourism”.
He said any community leader or traditional ruler who is unable to assist security agencies towards arresting criminals within his domain will be held to account.
“let me warn that any traditional ruler who is found to be promoting ethno-religious hatred, injustice, disharmony or shielding criminals will not only be dethroned, but will be made to face the laws of the land” he warned.
The two traditional rulers described Governor Lalong as a rescue leader who has fulfilled the dreams of the people that have lingered for many years. They promised to cooperate with the Government and support all the programs that are targeted to improving the quality of lives of the people.
Emir of Wase Alhaji Muhammadu Sambo Haruna commended Governor Lalong for keeping to his words and making the dreams of the people in the two Chiefdoms come true.
He assured the Governor that the traditional Council will work together to support the Government in all its programmes.

Governor Simon Bako Lalong has institutionalised ICT local content in Plateau state with approval for the establishment of the Office for Plateau State Content Development (OPCD) to be domiciled within the Plateau State Information & Communication Technology Development Agency (PICTDA).
The OPCD will, for now, operate as a desk office inside the state’s IT development and regulatory agency. The new office will operate as a programme of the PICTDA. Part of the mandate of the OPCD is to implement the statutory guidelines requiring all government ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) to seek clearance from the PICTDA in respect of all ICT procurements and installations.
“Governor Lalong has continued to provide visionary leadership and notably in ICT, Plateau state is being prepared to be an active player in the digital economy with up-front policies aimed at building local capacity and patronage for indigenous talents, said Director General of PICTDA, Daser David in Jos, Plateau administrative capital.
National ICT local content implementation since 2013
At national level, ICT local content implementation effectively commenced in December, 3 2013 following the creation of the Office of National Content (ONC) designed to operate as a programme of the National Information Technology and Development Agency (NITDA).
Inspired by the successes of the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB) within the oil and gas industry, ONC was modelled to work closely with the NCDMB with the overall objective to promote indigenous ICT entrepreneurship and ensure government patronage for local ICT companies.
OPCD to show preference for indigenous companies
Also by design, the OPCD is targeting to “promote indigenous content by ensuring that preference is given to indigenous companies where capacity or the product or service exists before attempting to source outside.
“A focus on indigenous or local content to achieve the development of local skills, technology transfer, use of local manpower in manufacturing and service provision. A move towards ICT development as enshrined in the mandate of PICTDA.
“The registration of all ICT companies in Plateau and the domestication of the guidelines for Nigerian Content Development in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) with a focus on revenue generation for Plateau State.”
Since 2013, the NITDA has aggressively pursued the implementation of the local content guidelines to achieve a target of 50% local content in the industry. With the creation of the OPCD, Plateau state is similarly seeking to impose local content requirements on companies operating in the sector.
Like a mustard seed that fell on a fertile land and sprouted to produce fruits, the life story of young Victor David Dimka was certainly akin to the biblical parable of the sower. The sequential rise to the top of this young man is a herculean task to sieve as he is determined to push all through.
Born a week after Nigeria’s Independence on October 7, 1960 to parents whose life was fully exposed to the advent of the Christian faith in Plateau Central; Victor’s journey in life started like a ray of sunlight that peeks over the cloudy horizon, penetrating the gray skyline with breathtaking colors.
It is not out of place to say that the aura that greeted his birth was the clue behind the outcome of the name given to him by his parents, Baba David Dimka and Matwok Elizabeth David Dimka, of blessed memory. And that star has shone ever brilliantly, just like his name. The first son that was conceived in the wake of the historic victory of his father at the Federal House of Representatives elections of 12th December 1959 has truly lived up to his billing and name.
As the saying goes, the best and highest rating of any outstanding pilot is never in how well he takes off, but how perfect he landed. But in the case of Victor David Dimka, both the take-off and landing were perfectly executed to the glory of God as he rose through thick and thin to become Comptroller of Customs in Nigeria.
Although his father distinguished himself in political leadership as an Honourable member of the Federal Parliament, Lagos in 1959 and reelected in 1964, and later was one of the ‘Fifty wise men’ that drafted the 1979 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, this young man refused to settle for this bed of roses. Instead, he courageously chose the path of struggle and hard work like any other child from day one to be what he is today.
Victor, the multiple award winner is a chip off the old block and this manifested right from his early days at Tuwan Primary School in Kabwir district of Kanke LGA in Plateau State. He was an outstanding pupil and athlete all through his school days. For his secondary school education, he started at Yakubu Gowon College Sharam, in Kanke LGA of Plateau State, but later transferred to Government Secondary School Pankshin, where he passed out with flying colours in 1979. Victor was admitted to study Political Science at the University of Jos, graduated in 1984 with a Bachelor’s Degree and proceeded for the mandatory National Youth Service (NYSC) where he served as a prolific Feature Writer with the Nigeria Herald Newspaper, Ilorin, in Kwara State.
Later while working, Victor in between his busy schedules, squeezed time to study and obtained a Master’s Degree in Public Administration from the University of Lagos in 1999, and a second Master’s Degree in Diplomacy and Strategic Studies from the same University in 2014.
Victor did not rest on his oars as he expressed an undying desire for a uniform job and attempted to enroll into the Nigeria Army, but luck was not on his side. Undeterred by that development, he later got enlisted in his beloved career, the Nigeria Customs Service after three years of patient waiting.
After the mandatory training at the Customs Training School, in Ikeja, he was commissioned as an Assistant Superintendent of Customs and posted to the notorious Idiroko Border under Ogun State Command. Serving from 1988 to 1993, he became nationally famous for his dogged fight against the smuggling of contraband goods and for his outstanding gallantry. He received many commendations from the service for his outstanding performance. He had within a short time become the nemesis of smugglers and other cross-border criminals.
Having distinguished himself, he was posted to Seme Border Command, where he again fought gallantly against Trans Border Crimes. With a reputation as ‘No Nonsense Officer and Gentleman’, he was later posted to Tin Can Island Command where he served from 1996 to 1999.
He also served in the Enforcement and Drug Unit from 1999-2000 and at Lilypond Area Command From 2001 to 2003. At Lilypond, he served as the Command’s Public Relations Officer, officer in charge of Clean Report of Findings (CRI)and later Personal Assistant to the Area Controller.
From 2003 to 2010, Victor Dimka, served in various capacities starting with the Enforcement and Drugs Unit in Abuja, Federal Operations Lagos, Tariff and Trade Unit Abuja, and the Officer in charge of Valuation, at Kirikiri Lighter Terminal, Fano Bonded Terminal, Apapa and Airport Commands.
This distinguished career path, saw Victor David Dimka serving his country with pride at the Federal Operations Units, Zone ‘A’ first as a Deputy Controller, Operations and in December 2010 to 2011 as the Acting Comptroller. He later left for Institute for Security Studies Bwari, Abuja and bagged the Fellowship of the Security Institute (fsi).
Amongst numerous courses he attended while in service were, Course on Instructions on Custom and Excise, 1998; World Trade Organization Valuation Agreement, 2004; National Course on Investigation, 2004 and Valuation Training, 2009 all at Customs Training College Ikeja. Others include Land Border Interdiction Course-International Law Enforcement Academy, Gabrone, Botswana. World Customs Organization training courses included: Leadership and Management Development. 2016; Budgeting & Financial Management- at the American University of Sharjah UAE (School of Business Administration) 2014; Introduction to Computer, Microsoft office &SharePoint: Techno Brain West Blue-2014 and Modern Customs Management Techniques 2012 in that order.
For his excellent performance while in service, the gallant officer received numerous awards both at home and diaspora. These include Africa Merit Gold Award (African Moment Magazine), Anti-Smuggling CZAR (Crime Watch), Area Inspirational Leadership Award for Immense Contribution to Youth and National Development 2011, and Exemplary Leadership on Security (Crime Reporters Association of Nigeria) accordingly.
In addition, he received the Award of Excellence (Global Business Eagle), Best Turn Around Area Controller by Transport Development Group, Commander 9 Brigade Nigeria Army (Brig-General S.W.Muazu Award of Excellence), Controller General of Customs Commendations for improved Anti-Smuggle Operations, June 2011, Crime Reporters Association Of Nigeria; Exemplary Leadership In Security Award, Fellow of the Security Institute (fsi).2012, Fellow the Institute of Chartered Economic of Nigeria, Fellow Certified Institute of Shipping, Fellow the Institute of Criminology and Penology, Fellow Nigeria Institute of Management, Paul Harris Fellow, Gold Award by first Eminent Group Board of Trustees, Membership, International Association of Chiefs of Police, USA and National Association of Criminologists & Security Practitioners of Nigeria (Boarder Security Award).
Victor who is warm hearted has always been a champion of ploughing his hard earned resources in projects that will impact positively on the lives of the downtrodden and the upliftment of the economy of his community. Kanke Resort stands as a testimony of his believe in the rural economy of Plateau State. He provided brand new buses to his alma mater and the National Association of Ngas Students. Similarly he built conducive accommodation facilities for students opposite FCE Pankshin. An avid lover of sports development, he assisted long distance athletes with training facilities, feeding and transportation to sporting venues. He assisted Kabwir and Garram Communities in the development of a secondary school and town Hall respectively. He was a major contributor in the construction of the NDA Secretariat at Pankshin. He drilled and rehabilitated boreholes in several communities.
There are many who are gainfully employed in many MDAs as a result of his intervention. Many are the beneficiaries of his assistance in defraying medical bills and the payment of school fees. He has employed many in his farms especially those situated at Bwari Abuja and Sarkin Kudu in Taraba State. Indeed, the footprints of his philanthropist are all over the length and breadth of Nigeria.
Victor David Dimka (DVD) is happily married to Mrs Maureen Victor Dimka nee Sugh, and blessed with two children-Mrs. Jiritmwa Tapgun and Master Timothy Victor Dimka.

NORTHERN GOVERNORS CONGRATULATE ASIWAJU BOLA TINUBU AT 69
The Northern Governors Forum has congratulated APC National Leader and former Governor of Lagos State Asiwaju Bola Tinubu on the occasion of his 69th birthday.
Chairman of the Forum and Governor of Plateau State, Simon Bako Lalong in a congratulatory message described Senator Tinubu as an accomplished politician and seasoned administrator whose strides in the nation’s socio-political landscape have remained outstanding.
Lalong said Asiwaju stands tall as a politician, statesman and patriot who exemplifies vision, dexterity and versatility in the course of nation building and national dialogue.
According to Governor Lalong, Asiwaju is a bridge builder who has continued to work for the unity, peace and progress of Nigeria, as well consistently offered wise counsel towards addressing national issues.
While wishing him many more years of peace, God’s divine protection and good health, the Northern Governors encouraged him to remain firm in his resolve to contribute to a greater Nigeria.

GOVERNOR LALONG SWEARS IN NEW HEAD OF SERVICE/PERM SECS; WARNS AGAINST POLITICISING CIVIL SERVICE
Plateau State Governor Simon Bako Lalong has sworn in the new head of the State Civil Service Engr. Sunday Chong Hyat and 14 new Permanent Secretaries with a warning for them to guard against politicising the service.
Governor Lalong said the appointments which were made purely on merit, became necessary to fill existing vacancies created by the retirement of the Head of Service Mr. Izam Azi, mni and some Permanent Secretaries.
He urged them to consider their appointments as a great privilege to contribute their quota towards building a greater Plateau State by showing excellence and patriotism.
He said “Your appointments are not opportunities to engage in self-aggrandizement, self-enrichment and pursuance of parochial interests. Rather, these responsibilities demand that you take your commitments to the next level by exhibiting high sense of duty and patriotism. I expect you to be above board in your conduct in order to assert yourselves and earn the confidence of those under you. You must play strategic roles as mentors and leaders and be able to punish indolence and reward excellence and loyalty. Do not celebrate nor promote mediocrity, laziness and non-performance”.
Lalong also warned them against promoting the matters of ethnicity and politics in the civil service saying “I will also be watching you closely to ensure that you do not only supervise those under you, but will not hesitate to sanction any of you who fails to deliver his or her duties as expected. Let me warn you against promoting ethnicity, religion or politicising the civil service. Such actions will not be tolerated as the civil service is a professional calling which must remain so”.
To further strengthen professionalism in the civil service, the Governor directed that henceforth, appointments to the position of Permanent Secretary shall be based on professional aptitude tests and examinations that are ICT-based. This will also cascade down to other levels as we move governance towards e-platforms that will improve efficiency, productivity and value.
Lalong used the occasion to reassure Plateau State civil servants of the commitment of his administration to continue to prioritise their welfare and well-being. He challenged the new Head of Service and Permanent Secretaries to work hard and promote better industrial harmony between the Government and its employees, saying he has directed that a Permanent Secretary be designated to handle labour matters in the office of the Head of Service.
Responding on behalf of the appointees, the new Head Service Engr. Sunday Hyat appreciated the Governor for the previlege offered them and assured that they will put in their best to serve the administration and the people of the State.
