We’ve Achieved Peace In Plateau – Lalong

Governor Simon Lalong

Plateau State Governor, Simon Lalong, yesterday said his administration has achieved lasting peace in the state.
Since the past 10 years the state has been troubled by violence, leading to loss of lives and destruction of property.

Speaking when management of the Nigerian Institute of Transport Technology, Zaira, paid him a courtesy call in Jos as part of the institute’s 2015 participants’ field trip, the governor, who assumed office six months ago, said: “Some few years ago, people were afraid to come to the state, but recently people now visit the state and that is a signal that peace has been restored to the state.
“Our government is for all people of the state, and we would continue to do things that would promote unity and sustainable peace in the state.”
The governor, who was represented by his deputy, Professor Sonni Tyoden, added: “The state government is willing to partner with any group that would bring meaningful development to the state. “Our administration is committed to alleviating the suffering of people of the state.
“This administration would remain focused and resolute in bettering the lives of citizens of the state.”
Lalong called on the institute to be more visible and add more value to the economy of the country.
Speaking earlier, Director of the Transport School in the Nigerian Institute of Transport Technology, Abimbola Odumosu, said the institute was committed to strengthening the transport sector, as it is charged with the responsibility of providing professional training for middle cadre managers in areas of transport and logistics and also conduct research and offer consultancy services to both public and private transport and logistics organisations, in addition to providing management training for personnel employed in all modes of transportation.
