KADPOLY ALUMNI VISIT GOVERNOR LALONG, ASKS FOR INTERVENTION OF NORTHERN GOVERNORS

Plateau State Governor and Chairman of the Northern Governors Forum Simon Bako Lalong has recieved the National Executives of the Kaduna State Polytechnic Alumni Association who were in his office to brief him on the state of affairs in the Institution.

Governor Lalong said the school which is one of the reputable Polytechnics in Nigeria and Africa was conceived by the then leaders of the Northern Region as a hub for producing technical manpower for the region and Nigeria at large.

He said over the years, the Institution has produced great persons who have distinguished themselves in various careers including technical areas across the world.

The Governor said the school has unfortunately suffered the lack of adequate funding and physical development commensurate with student population which has grown geometrically over the years.

Lalong noted that although the only way to immortalise the Founding Fathers of Northern Nigeria is through the revival of the legacy projects they left behind to serve the needs of citizens such as the Kaduna Polytechnic.

National President of the KADPOLY Alumni Association Abbas said the famous citadel of learning, with over two million members at home and in the diaspora, has produced eminent Nigerians in all spheres of human endeavor, but is now facing alot of challenges.

He said the Alumni Association is embarking on nation wide visits to critical players in order to canvas support towards reviving the dwindling fortunes of the Institution.

The alumni President told Governor Simon Lalong that though the school is owned by the Federal Government, most of its students come from the Northern States and as such, the Northern Governors Forum should take interest in its development and further growth.

He said it was to sustain the dream of its founding fathers that that the Alumni decided to table the challenges of the Institution before the Northern Governors Forum ahead its meeting this month for inyenebentorm

NORTHERN GOVERNORS FORUM HELD AN EMERGENCY VIRTUAL MEETING, DISCUSS ISSUES AFFECTING THE REGION AND THE NATION IN GENERAL

NORTHERN STATES GOVERNORS FORUM

COMMUNIQUE

The Northern States Governors Forum held an emergency virtual meeting on Monday 8th February 2021 to discuss issues affecting the region and the nation in general. The meeting was presided over by its Chairman and Governor of Plateau State Rt. Hon. Simon Bako Lalong. The meeting resolved as follows:

  1. That some of its Committee reports are at various stages of completion and resolved that all such reports should be turned in before the next meeting scheduled for the end of February in Kaduna where the reports will be deliberated upon.
  2. On security of the region and the nation, the Forum noted with concern the growing wave of insecurity in the country particularly as it relates to circulation of unverified video clips on social media portraying violent attacks on persons in some parts of the country. Therefore, Forum:
    i. Called on political leaders to segregate between criminality and social groups in their domains with a view to treating criminals as criminals. The Forum reiterates that it condemns every form of criminality whether from herders, hunters, or farmers occupying forest reserves illegally.
    ii. Noted with concern the tension generated by the eviction order issued to herdsmen in some parts of the country.
    iii. Expressed concern that this is heating the already fragile security atmosphere with threats of reprisals which the Northern Governors are working assiduously to contain.
    iv. Stresses the urgent need for the Nigerian Governors Forum to meet and discuss the issue wholistically with a view to resolving all areas of misunderstanding and conflicts arising from these threats and suspicion for the sake of national unity.
    v. Notes with concern that the current system of herding conducted mainly through open grazing is no longer sustainable in view of growing urbanization and population of the country. Consequently, Forum resolved to aggressively sensitise herdsmen on the need to adapt new methods of herding by ranching or other acceptable modern methods.
    vi. Appeals to the Federal Government to support States with grants to directly undertake pilot projects of modern livestock production that will serve as springboard and evidence for breaking resistance to the full implementation of new methods of livestock production.
    vii. Resolved to engage elders and youths in a robust discussion with a view to dousing the tensed security environment in the north. Accordingly, a four-man Committee was put in place to be headed by the Chairman of the Northern Governors Forum.
    viii. Called for restraint from leaders including those in the Southern parts of the country where passions are high. Similarly, they called on all the citizens of the north to continue to live in peace with all Nigerians irrespective of their origins and backgrounds.
  3. Forum congratulated the new Service Chiefs over their recent appointments and resolved to collaborate with them in enhancing the security of the region and the nation at large.
  4. On its quest to acquire COVID-19 testing mobile vehicles, the Governors received briefing on the procurement of the vehicles which was still ongoing with the first batch about to be received. Accordingly, the Forum resolved to revalidate all requests made by member States in 2020.

GOVERNOR SIMON BAKO LALONG COMMEMORATE PLATEAU FORGIVENESS DAY;INAUGURATE INTER-RELIGIOUS COUNCIL

SPEECH DELIVERED BY H.E. RT. HON. (DR.) SIMON BAKO LALONG, KSSG, THE EXECUTIVE GOVERNOR OF PLATEAU STATE ON THE OCCASION OF THE COMMEMORATION OF “PLATEAU FORGIVENESS DAY” 2021 & INAUGURATION OF THE INTER-RELIGIOUS COUNCIL HELD AT THE VICTORIA GOWON HALL, NEW GOVERNMENT HOUSE LITTLE RAYFIELD JOS ON 8TH FEBRUARY 2021.
PROTOCOL

  1. I am delighted to welcome you all to yet another historic day in our quest to foster a new future for our State as we solidify a new narrative that advances a new paradigm shift in addressing the numerous wrongs of the past.
  2. As a State emerging from the ashes of violence, our Rescue Administration decided to set aside February 7 of every year as Forgiveness Day. This day reminds us to imbibe and promote the culture of forgiveness as enunciated in the Holy Books. The cardinal objective of this day is to achieve enduring peace and harmony as opposed to hate, bitterness, resentment and vengeance which only leads to a vicious cycle of violence.
  3. On Friday last week, our Muslim brothers and sisters converged on various mosques to pray and emphasize the need for forgiveness. Yesterday, Christian faithful also offered similar prayers in churches with the Catholic Arch Bishop of Jos His Grace Mathew Ishaya Audu celebrating a mass at the Saint Louis Church to commemorate the day.
  4. When we first commemorated this day in 2019, I submitted that if we imbibed forgiveness, it will eclipse and bury all the wrongs of the past and move us to a new dawn by restoring confidence in our future and ensuring that generations unborn do not repeat our mistakes.
  5. Let me reiterate that the idea behind the Forgiveness Day is for us to reflect on where we have been; the human tragedy that befell us; the need to appreciate our present situation; and our resolve to craft the kind of a peaceful and secure society we desire.
  6. My administration clearly understands that many of our people have been hurt and could have also caused pain for others. Many cannot seem to erase the hurt from their mental hard drive and continue to harbour bitterness, resentment, and anger.
  7. The choice before us is to either continue in our anger thus spending the rest of our lives in pain and bitterness, or we can choose to be released, healed, and be set free. That is where forgiveness becomes inevitable.
  8. Of course, propagating forgiveness in a society such as ours can be associated with misunderstandings and misconceptions. Definitions of forgiveness may differ depending on which divide one is standing. However, the outcome of forgiveness can easily unite people and benefit everyone.
  9. Forgiveness does not connote weakness, tolerance for injustice or excusing evil. Forgiveness does not also mean that the act committed does not matter nor does it suggest that the offender should not bear the consequences of his actions. Indeed, such a person should be held accountable to serve as deterrence.
  10. At the risk of being misunderstood or even misrepresented, I am confident to tell you that forgiveness is not justice. While justice usually involves the acknowledgment of an evil deed, an apology, and some form of reward or punishment, forgiveness can take place regardless of whether justice is served or not.
  11. In the same vein, forgiveness does not automatically translate to trust. On the contrary, while forgiveness is something that should be freely given, trust however must be earned through consistent truth-telling and dialogue over a period of time.
  12. As a Governor who wishes to be remembered as a peacemaker long after I leave office, the approach of my administration is to pursue Restorative Justice side by side with Retributive Justice in order to right the wrongs of the past.
  13. In this regard, we have taken several policy steps to mitigate the risk of a return to violent conflicts as well as tackle the growing wave of criminality in our State. Apart from setting up the Plateau State Peace Building Agency, we have strengthened Operation Rainbow and reviewed the criminal administration law.
  14. Last year, I signed into law the Bill on Kidnapping, land grabbing, cultism and other related violent crimes to ensure that criminals are not left unpunished. Indeed, our determination to arrest and prosecute criminals and trouble makers in the state remains unwavering.
  15. The Plateau State Peace Building Agency on the other hand has been working assiduously to entrench the ideals of sustainable Peace through dialogue, advocacy and strategic engagements with a wide range of stakeholders at the State and community levels.
  16. This is why the Plateau Peace Agency has held over 87 multi-level dialogue sessions and more than 40 outreaches across 17 Local Governments of the State in order to promote the culture of Peace among communities that had once fought each other.
  17. Despite the efforts and modest successes recorded at stemming the tide of ethno-religious violence, Plateau State is still in dire need of healing. Our people have remained somewhat divided along ethno-religious or tribal lines due largely to the experiences of yesterday. Yet, we have a golden opportunity to open a new leaf by consolidating on the gains of our efforts within the last six years.
  18. While we cannot claim that all issues in the heart of the crises have been resolved, we have in our hands the tools that can help midwife the rebirth of a new and united Plateau that is at Peace with itself and neighbours.
  19. The stakes are quite high and the need to work in concert through the forging of robust alliances has never been this urgent. The age-old maxim says we either work together as a united front to win or we perish as fools. We have no reason to choose anything below peace.
  20. That is why today we are inaugurating the reconstituted Plateau State Inter-religious Council, a body made up of highly respected religious leaders and experts in the field of conflict mediation and peace building.
  21. The inauguration of this non-partisan body is a further demonstration of our administration’s commitment to repairing the broken social fabric of our society through the provision of a structured platform for religious, community, youth and women leaders to play active roles in fostering mutual understanding and cooperation between citizens regardless of ethnic and religious differences.
  22. It is expected that working closely with the Plateau State Peace Building Agency, the State Inter-religious Council will critically think through issues and build consensus on challenges that threaten freedom, tolerance and peace.
  23. The Council will adopt a flexible and confidential format in which even controversial issues can be discussed; assumptions tested and ideas generated. Through joint analysis and structured interfaith dialogue, voices from divergent communities can come up with new ideas and approaches that will help enhance resilience and social cohesion.
  24. In addition, I hope this platform provides a channel through which religious leaders can offer honest, non-partisan and informed counsel on critical matters and present their recommendations to government and other policy makers at all levels.
  25. I will like to thank the Chairman and Co-Chairman of the Inter-religious Council Rev. Prof. Pandang Yamsat, former COCIN President and His Royal Highness Alh. Sambo Mohammed III, Emir of Wase and Chairman JNI, Plateau State and other members for accepting to serve. All Members of the Council have been carefully chosen based on their track record of integrity, honesty, peace drive and patriotism.
  26. The State Inter-religious Council is to be guided by the following terms of reference:
  27. Promote the culture of interfaith Dialogue as a viable mechanism for peaceful co-existence, understanding and religious tolerance in Plateau state.
  28. To work with different faith communities and other organizations that work across faith lines to expand respect for religious pluralism and freedom of religion or belief in Plateau state.
  29. To offer advisory services to the State Government on matters of religious practice.
  30. To deliberate on reported cases of religious conflicts and proffer urgent solutions for government’s intervention.
  31. To work closely with relevant agencies of government to improve social cohesion as well as promote the agenda of Peace on the Plateau through healing, forgiveness and reconciliation.
  32. The Interreligious Council will also play an Advisory Role to the Peace Building Agency while the Coordinating Secretariat is to be headed by the Director General of the Agency Mr. Joseph Lengmang alongside the following:
  33. Barr. Auwal Abdullahi
  34. Rev. Gideon Para-Mallam
  35. Rev. Fr. Blaise Agwom
  36. Hon. Ahmed Muhammad Nazif
  37. My expectation is that through the work of this council, our citizens would learn to listen to each other, understand one another, forgive, tolerate and above all, have respect for the diverse religious and social beliefs that exist in our society.
  38. As I conclude, I am directing the Council to support the Peace Building Agency in finding a lasting solution to renewed herder-farmers clashes in some parts of the State such as Bassa where from last week till yesterday night, we have reports that people have been killed in attacks and reprisals.
  39. I have already directed security agencies to go after those behind the acts and bring them to justice. This must stop.
  40. May God give us the grace to be our brother’s keepers, forgive and live in peace with one another.
    [MEMBERS RISE TO BE INAUGURATED]
  41. It is now my singular honour to inaugurate you as members of the Plateau State Inter-religious Council to the Glory of God and for the peace, unity and progress of Plateau State.
  42. God bless Plateau State and the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Rt. Hon. (Dr) Simon Bako Lalong, KSGG,
Executive Governor, Plateau State.

GOVERNOR SIMON BAKO LALONG CHARGES NIGERIANS TO FORGIVE ONE ANOTHER AS PLATEAU MARKS DAY OF FORGIVENESS

GOVERNOR LALONG CHARGES NIGERIANS TO FORGIVE ONE ANOTHER AS PLATEAU MARKS DAYFORGIVENESS DAY.

Governor Simon Bako Lalong on Sunday 7th February 2021 said unless Nigerians learn to forgive one another and avoid revenge and reprisals, the nation will continue to witness needless bloodshed and destruction of properties.

Governor Lalong was speaking at an inter-denominational church service to commemorate the 3rd Plateau Day of Forgiveness and Reconciliation at the St. Louis Catholic Church Jos.

Lalong said although acts of criminality must be swiftly investigated and punished by Government and its relevant organs, the long term ambition of every Nigerian who desires peace is to tore the path of reconciliation and forgiveness.

He said “As a Government, we are very conscious of the fact that the process of restoring peace and confidence among the people cannot succeed without forgiveness and reconciliation. On this day therefore, we do not try to trivialize or gloss over the trauma, pain and agony that many people have undergone on account of the various crises that took lives and properties. Others are still bearing physical scars of their experiences. What this day rather emphasizes is how to make the best of the past ugly experiences and chart the way forward. If truly we want to move forward, then there is every need to encourage healing that makes us do things differently.”

Lalong said the Plateau Peace Agency has held over 87 multi-level dialogue sessions with conflict parties across 17 Local Governments of the State in order to promote the culture of Peace through forgiveness and reconciliation.
This has led to the signing of several Peace Agreements and Commitments to the pursuit of Peace agreement with various fighting communities in the last five years.

He frowned at the exploitation of the social media by crises merchants who generate and circulate unfounded posts suggesting that there is no peace in Plateau State and that this Government has not achieved anything.

In his homily, Catholic Archbishop Mathew Ishaya Audu said the failure of individuals and communities to forgive one another increases the burden of strife, bitterness, anger and violence which provides the ready flame for crises.

He said Christ has demonstrated forgiveness by not only laying down his life for humanity, but admonishing his followers to do same and live in peace. He said Plateau State is experiencing gradual healing and peaceful coexistence because of the efforts of the Government to set the right examples and administer justice to all.

Chairman Christian Pilgrims Commission Rev. Yakubu Pam said the Day for Forgiveness and Reconciliation is a great initiative by Governor Simon Lalong that celebrates the good of humanity rather than the embers of hatred, bigotry and mediocrity.

Plateau State Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria Rev. Fr. Polycarb Lubo, Deputy Chief Imam of Jos Central Mosque Sheikh Ismail Adam and the representative of the Gbong Gwom Jos all called on the citizens of Plateau State and Nigerians in general to learn to embrace one another inspite of differences in religion, ethnicity or status.

Prayers were offered for the perpetuation of peace and reconciliation in Plateau State and Nigeria.
