GOVERNOR LALONG WOOS INVESTORS AS 45TH REGULAR MEETING OF THE NATIONAL COUNCIL ON AGRICULTURE AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT OPENS IN JOS

Plateau State Governor Simon Bako Lalong has said that investors ready to do business in the State particularly in agriculture, manufacturing and industry are assured of access to land and other incentives to support their endeavours.

Governor Lalong was speaking while declaring open the 45th Regular Meeting of the National Council on Agriculture and Rural Development holding in Jos, Plateau State.

Lalong said the meeting with the theme “Strengthening Agricultural Value Chains Development Processes for Food Security and Economic Development” addresses a very important aspect of the Nigerian economy and also touches on the challenge of turning agricultural products into real economic derivatives.

He said “I dare say that there is no better place to hold this event because Plateau State is an agrarian State with potential to feed the nation and do so in style, using its exotic crops that are not grown in other parts of the country. There is no better time than now for stakeholders to convene a meeting to brainstorm on best strategies and policies to tackle hunger which is threatening the general well-being of Nigerians”.

The Governor said his Government has over the last seven years given enormous attention to agriculture by ensuring the provision of farm inputs such as tractors, fertilizers, chemicals, improved seedlings and many more towards ensuring that farmers benefit from the natural endowments of the State. Farmers he emphasised have been empowered through the Cooperative Societies and farmer associations in the production of many crops and assorted vegetables that are unique to Plateau environment.

“For those who are ready for commercial farming, Plateau State has one of the most friendly business environment with mouth-watering offers for land acquisition. Indeed our land charges and ground rents which have been discounted several times are meant to serve as incentives for investors. Many who have taken advantage of this situation are reaping the fruits of their investments and expanding their businesses” he said.

He expressed hope that with the designation of the Yakubu Gowon Airport Heipang as an International Cargo Airport, commercial farming of various crops, assorted fruits and flowers will expand in the state because of the possibility for direct export through the airport. The Government also recently bought over the Inland Container Terminal situated very close to the Heipang Airport which again compliments the evacuation of agricultural products from Plateau to other parts of Nigeria and abroad.

On the issue of value chain addition to agricultural products which is the theme of the meeting, Lalong said “I therefore challenge this Council to rise from this meeting with concrete and practical ways of ensuring that farmers add value to their products before selling them. This will not only boost the economic fortunes of the farmers, but also birth a chain of MSEs that will create jobs and usher in prosperity for our people. Many youths will be taken out of poverty and crime will fall because they will be engaged. As the Chairman of the Northern Governors Forum, I have also had interface with the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and its Parastatals on the issue of Value Addition, Extension Services and education as well as provision of timely farming input to our farmers. These problems cut across the States and entire country and need to be resolved without delay. We have to strengthen our agricultural research institutions and also challenge our Polytechnics and Universities to come up with machineries that will enhance value-addition in the agricultural sector”.

Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Dr. Mohammad Mahmood Abubakar said the 45th Regular Meeting of the National Council of Agriculture and Rural Development provides an opportunity to address one of the major challenges faced by farmers relating to post harvest losses and inability of the farmers to benefit from the proceeds of their labour.

He said the Buhari administration has taken serious concern over diversifying the economy using agriculture and also ensuring that processing of farm products is given a boost. This he said has resulted in strengthening rice, cassava, yam and other food production and processing that have yielded positive outcomes. According to him, 10 rice processing Mills are about to be completed across the country.

Minister of State for Agriculture Mustapha Baba Shehuri also said the technical sessions at the Meeting have been robust and engaging with valid suggestions being made on how to address the challenges of agriculture in Nigeria.

In their goodwill messages, Senate Committee Chairman on Agriculture Senator Bima Mohammed and his House Counterpart Munir Baba Dan Abundi expressed the willingness of the National Assembly to support the execution of projects that are capable of turning around agriculture for economic growth.

Goodwill messages from development partners also highlighted the need for the 45th Council Meeting to generate outcomes that will increase the efficiency of the agricultural sector in the country.

The Governor later inspected the pavilions displaying various agricultural products and inputs.

KANAM APC REMAINS A REFERENCE POINT IN MOBILIZATION; AS VOGA REMAINS A STRATEGIC MOVEMENT

KANAM APC REMAINS A REFERENCE POINT IN MOBILIZATION, AS VOGA REMAINS A STRATEGIC MOVEMENT

The meeting of stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress, APC in Kanam on September 12, 2022, remains, for many reasons, one that should wake up other chapters in the state.

Those who know are quick to point out that politics is not war, it should not be used for enmity; and for this reason, the actors who genuinely want to serve the people have no reason to be divided.

In the recent past, it was difficult to bring major Kanam stakeholders under one roof, as they had different persuasions and camps; even though they belong to the same political party.

Collectively, they have since understood that Kanam, for long, has remained progressive and contributed in no small measure to the development of the political landscape called Plateau State. They can not be neglected in the political calculations of any election, state or national.

One of their sons, Rt Hon Yusuf Adamu Gagdi, who represents Pankshin/Kanke/Kanam in the House of Representatives remains, in the estimation of his constituents, and even those outside, a shining example. He has a lot to contribute.

He has in the last three years displayed stellar performance deserving of the commitment he went to the National Assembly with. Little wonder, he has been rewarded with another chance to return in 2023.

Nothing can be more rewarding to PKK than the continuation of empowerment, contructions, interventions, employment slots and many more to the Federal Constituency. I bet you, there are numerous others on the way.

These are done because it is in God that we trust.

LANGTANG NORTH COUNCIL CHAIRMAN IMPEACHED

By Prince Sekat, Jos


The Executive Chairman of Langtang North Local Government Council, Hon. Bitrus Zulfa Rimven, has been impeached from office by the Legislative Arm of the council.

The impeachment was consequent upon a notice of acts of gross misconduct labelled against the erstwhile chairman, which was communicated to him by the Legislative Council a fortnight ago.

At a sitting presided over by the Leader of the Council and Councilor representing Pishe–Yashi Ward, Hon. Maina Nanzing, on Tuesday 13th September, 2022 the Legislative Council voted to ouster the erstwhile chairman.

Shortly after role call by the leader of the house, the Councilor representing Jat Ward, Hon. Dashe Yarnap moved a motion for the impeachment of the erstwhile Council Chairman, Bitrus Rimven Zulfa, and was seconded by the Deputy Leader and councilor representing Pajat Ward, Hon. Dindam Longbap Wuyep, after which the leader of the Council, Hon Nanzing Maina, moved for the swearing in of the Deputy Chairperson of the council Hon. Nancy Philemon Paul as the substantive Chairperson of the council with immediate effect.

According to the Deputy Leader, the ousted Chairman, Hon. Bitrus Rimven Zulfa, who was served with an impeachment notice on the 31st August, 2022 failed to respond to the allegations contained therein, so as to clear himself of the allegations against him.

Among the allegations against the former Chairman included siphoning of over Three Hundred Million Naira (300,000,000) from the local government coffers, using a staff of the local government, by name Samuel Malo Magit to perpetuate the evil act.

Other allegations labelled against Zulfa included his failure to constitute the executive arm of the council, whereby, he had been running the affairs of the council as a one man show; in clear contrast to the provisions of section 34 (c)of Plateau state Local Government Council Law 2016.

According to members of the Legislative arm, there was a meeting held in Government House, Jos at the instance of some government officials, among which were Secretary to the Government of Plateau state, Professor Danladi Attu, State Head of Service Sunday Hyat, Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Sylvanus Tapgun, Commissioner for Housing Hon. Brain Dadi, Chief of Staff Government House, Noel Donjur, critical stakeholders as well as the impeached Chairman of Langtang North with the eighteen Councilors of the area.

The aim of the meeting with the critical stakeholders of the party was to intervene in the lingering crisis between the council Chairman and the Councilors, unfortunately the sitting ended in a deadlock.

However, the ousted Chairman said he would have replied the letter sent to him, but he did not want to expose the complicity of the state Ministry for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs for some reasons.

During the day sitting, fourteen out of Eighteen councillors appended their signatures to put paid to the impeachment process.

NORTHERN GOVERNORS/TRADITIONAL RULERS MEET IN ABUJA; CALL FOR STATE POLICE TO ADDRESS SECURITY CHALLENGES

NORTHERN GOVERNORS/TRADITIONAL RULERS MEET IN ABUJA; CALL FOR STATE POLICE TO ADDRESS SECURITY CHALLENGES

The Northern Governors Forum on Monday, 12th September 2022 met with the Northern Traditional Rulers Council in Abuja and came out with a resolution calling for the establishment of State police to tackle security challenges in the region and the nation at large.

Reading the communique after the meeting held at the Transcorp Hilton Abuja, Chairman of the Forum and Governor of Plateau State Simon Bako Lalong said the meeting reviewed the security situation in the North and other matters relating to its development and resolved to support the ammendment of the Constitution to accommodate the establishment of State police.

According to him, this will effectively and efficiently address the security challenges of the region.

The Forum also reiterated its commitment to the development of solar energy in view of the comparative advantage of abundant sunshine in the region.

Accordingly, it was unanimously resolved that 2000 megawatts of solar power be harvested across the 19 States and FCT with a view to harnessing the huge potential of power from solar.

The joint meeting also noted with regret the ongoing ASSU strike which it believes was more punitive in the region as most of the students in the North are attending public universities.

It therefore called on ASSU to cooperate with the Federal Government in resolving the dispute.

The Northern Governors also engaged officials of the World Bank to discuss the level of implementation of the Adolescent Girls Initiative for Learning and Empowerment (AGILE) and Nigeria for Women Project which are being implemented in five Northern States.

The Governor who was at the Bishop’s Court together with Deputy Speaker House of Representatives Rt. Hon. Idris Wase was recieved on behalf of the Bishop by Rev. Fr. Raymond Gofut, Vicar General, Catholic Diocese of Shendam.

Governor Lalong while thanking the Church for praying for him throughout his political journey said he was in the Diocese to appreciate the Bishop, Priests and the entire Catholic family for always upholding and encouraging him since his emergence as Senatorial Candidate as well as his appointment as Director General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council.

He said his mission home was to thank the people of the zone and sensitize them on the forthcoming elections while seeking their collaboration and cooperation.

He thanked the Church for their guidance and counsel which he said has engendered peace and harmony among the citizens particularly during recent attempts by some mischief makers and hoodlums to instigate religious and ethnic crises.

Vicar General of Shendam Diocese Rev. Fr. Gofut while welcoming the Governor to the Diocese on behalf of the Bishop said the Church appreciates the efforts of the Governor in carrying the people along and always coming back to seek the blessings of God and the Church in his endeavours.

He led other Priests to pray for the Governor over his recent appointment as the Director General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, asking God to grant him wisdom, favour and protection as he carries out the national assignment.

Deputy Speaker House of Representatives Rt. Hon. Idris Wase also thanked the Church for support and prayers as well as providing honest and unbiased advice to the political class. He said they will do their best to ensure that the people benefit from the democratic process.

Governor Lalong thereafter held consultations with the Plateau South Stakeholders Forum where he challenged them to remain resolute in projecting the interests of the APC which has according to him has a solid followership in the Zone, State, and nation at large.

He used the event to reiterate the need to highlight the various achievements of the APC in the Southern Zone, Plateau and Nigeria, assuring that at the right time when the campaigns start, Nigerians will be reminded about the passion with which the party has served the people.

Chairman of the Forum and Director General of the ITF Sir Joseph Ari thanked the Governor and Deputy Speaker for taking out time to engage with stakeholders and also respond to comments, suggestions and concerns of the loyal party members.

He said the Forum has been mobilising and strategizing towards consolidating on the previous electoral victories of the party. The engagement he said is coming very timely as they hope to also leverage on the appointment of Governor Lalong as the DG Tinubu/Shettima Campaign Team to demonstrate that the APC has a strong footing in not only the Southern Zone, but Plateau State as a whole.

The Governor also held another meeting with party leaders and stakeholders from all the six local governments of the Southern Zone where he reminded them of the need to build synergy, mobilise, and strategise, ready to deliver their party and all its candidates once INEC lifts the ban on political campaigns.

Deputy Speaker House of Representatives Rt. Hon. Idris Wase also told the stakeholders that apart from the projects and appointments that the Governor has attracted to Plateau, his elevation as the Director General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council is a sign that there are more blessings to come to the State especially when Asiwaju becomes President of Nigeria.

Zonal Chairman of the APC in the Southern Zone Alhaji Yalum again reminded the party stakeholders of their earlier resolve to not only deliver candidates of the party from top to bottom, but also ensure that Plateau State delivers the highest number of votes at the Presidential elections.

Representatives of women, youth and elders also made submissions at the consultations.

NIGERIAN ARMY TO EXPAND DRUG MANUFACTURING COMPANY CAPACITY….as COAS performs groundbreaking ceremony of the new site.

By Prince Sekat, Jos

The Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Lieutenant General Faruk Yahaya has on Wednesday 7 September 2022 performed the groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of the Nigerian Army Drug Manufacturing Company ( NADMACO) new site at Nigerian Army (NA) Cantonment Epe in Lagos state, as part of efforts to expand NADMACO production capacity towards servicing the medical needs of the NA, the Armed Forces of Nigeria and the civil populace.

Performing the groundbreaking ceremony, the COAS stated that the establishment of NADMACO in 1994 became expedient in order to meet quality and affordable pharmaceutical needs of personnel, as well as curtail the dangers of adulterated drugs faced by personnel and their families. He averred that provision of adequate healthcare is a critical aspect of a soldier’s welfare, hence it is imperative to continue to improve the medical facilities of the NA. Gen Yahaya observed further, that the increased engagement of NA personnel in various theatres of operations across the country, necessitates the upgrading and expansion of the pharmaceutical company.

Speaking at the event, the Group Managing Director, Nigerian Army Welfare Limited by Guarantee (NALW/G), Major General Adekola Bakare disclosed that NA entered into private partnership to reposition the company for improved performance and production, which he said, had declined over the years, resulting from obsolete equipment and heightening cost of production.

The Managing Director, UZ Carlson Pharmaceutical Company, Mr Callistus Okafor, who is the Board Chairman of NADMACO, noted that the joint venture would upscale production within the next five years. He pointed out, that the pharmaceutical company would ostensibly mitigate the challenges of fake drugs and produce high-quality drugs of commercial value to promote local content.

Meanwhile, the COAS had earlier in the day commissioned various projects at the Nigerian Army Ordnance School in Epe Cantonment. The projects include Student Officers’ and Soldiers’ hostels comprising two blocks of 20 flats for officers and 2
dormitories for soldiers. He also commissioned the School’s Regimental Sergeant Major’s (RSM) official residence, as part of ongoing NA welfare program to provide suitable accommodation for RSMs in all Army formations.

Present during the ceremony were Principal Staff Officers from Army Headquarters, Corps Commanders, the GOC 81 Division, Council of Chiefs from Epeland, Chairman Epe Local Government Area and a host of others.

GAGDI: WHY TEACHERS’ SUPPORT GROUP FOR RT HON YUSUF ADAMU GAGDI IN MUPUNLAND ARE OUT TO MOBILIZE VOTERS COME 2023 FOR HIM

On a daily basis, the number of people buying into the candidacy of Rt Hon Yusuf Adamu Gagdi are increasing and gaining grounds in communities that make up the Federal Constituency.

The latest is the Teachers’ Support Group for Gagdi in Mupunland who met with the Senior Legislative Assistant, Pharm Mizim Haruna Dagung on behalf of the peoples’ representative to express their support and assurance that its members are united behind Rt Hon Yusuf Adamu Gagdi for 2023.

The group led by Letan Makplang Kusa, Chairman and Secretary, Istifanus Hosea openly declared their support when they met at EKAN Primary School , Abwor-Dyis on September 5, 2022 stated various reasons for this action.

The group said its members have long fell in love with the quantum of achievements that have been recorded in the space of three years in the National Assembly by Rt Hon Yusuf Adamu Gagdi.

They noted that there have been exponential growth and development in more ways than in communities that make up PKK; and for which they are grateful to Gagdi for remaining focused since he got on the saddle.

While appreciating his commitment to the cause of the people, the group said as Teachers, they were indeed happy Gagdi invested in the lives of young people by giving them scholarships, ensuring that he took off the burden of the payment of fees for JAMB, NECO and WAEC for their wards.

For these reasons, and more, they have chosen to stick with him in order to mobilize the electorate to vote for his return to the Green Chamber in 2023.
