Plateau State Governor Simon Bako Lalong is continuing his inspection of ongoing projects across the State with a stern warning to contractors to ensure that quality work is done and completion period adhered to. Governor Lalong began his latest inspection with a visit to the Baab-Kurgwi Road under construction in Quan Pan Local Area where he expressed satisfaction on the level of work and urged the contractors to sustain the tempo. He later visited the College of Arts, Science and Technology (CAST) Kurgwi to inspect the Legacy Projects going on in the Institution. The Governor was briefed by the site Engineer who explained that the work had reached 60 percent completion and would have gone far if not for some delays occasioned by land dispute. The Governor frowned at the delay and immediately directed the Local Government Chairman and member of the State House of Assembly to ensure that the dispute is resolved immediately. He also Inspected the Demshin Road Project also in Shendam local Government where the residents jubilated on the Governor’s presence which they hoped would make the contractor sit up to ensure that the work is done according to specifications and schedule. During the inspection of Kalong Bridge in Shendam Local Government, the Governor received a tumultuous welcome by a large crowd who said the construction of the bridge would reduce their hardships. They said they have suffered lack of access to markets to transport their farm produce and also link up with other communities around them. He later performed the Coronation ceremonie of three Chiefs in Shendam. They include the Long Dorok, Long Jaktoe and Long Derteng where he charged them to use their positions for peace, development and mutual coexistence. He said ” I have repeatedly emphasized the need for traditional rulers to be alert to their duties of preserving the culture and traditions of the people and also sensitizing them to live in peace with one another. When there is crime in your domains, you must work with your people and expose the criminals. If you don’t, I will hold you responsible and ensure that you are investigated. That is the kind of thing I directed about the killings in Bokkos where to my dismay, nobody was arrested despite the murder of people. This cannot be allowed”. The new Chiefs all expressed joy over their coronation and promised to do their best in assisting the State Government fulfill its responsibilities to the people.

Local community leaders and Fulani leaders from Mangu, Bokkos, Barkin Ladi and Riyom local government areas of Plateau State were on Wednesday arrested by the Plateau State Police Command and whisked away to Abuja on Thursday for further questioning on the crisis that rocked parts of Bokkos LGA of the state. Daily Trust reports that the arrest came less than 24 hours after Plateau State Governor, Simon Bako Lalong ordered the State Commissioner of Police, Isaac Akinmoyede to arrest community leaders and Ardos of the affected communities following the killings and destruction of properties around Kwatas and nearby communities of Bokkos LGA. A slight disagreement had stalled the arrest on Tuesday when only the Fulani Ardos stood up for the arrest while community leaders remained seated, claiming that the governor’s instructions was not directed at them. However, CP Akinmoyede had ordered the leaders to reconvene at the Police headquarters the following day. Our correspondent gathered from sources at the headquarters that on their arrival, they were asked to make individual statements in which some of them were released.
As at 4:00am on Thursday, our correspondent gathered that Ardos from Riyom, Barkin Ladi, Bokkos and Mangu as well as the Chairmen of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association in Nigeria and some community and youth leaders were bundled into vehicles and whisked away to the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) at the Police headquarters in Abuja.
Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Ubah Gabriel confirmed the development and said, “for every Ardo that was moved to Abuja, an equivalent of the community leader from that area was equally picked and taken to Abuja.”
Plateau State Governor, Simon Bako Lalong has paid a personal visit to the family of the late Ropvil Daciya Dalep who was recently killed by terrorists in Borno State. The Governor in company of his wife, Regina and the Deputy Governor, Prof. Sonni Tyoden arrived the family house in Jing village, Pankshin Local Government to condole with the family of the deceased. Lalong who had earlier sent a delegation to the family said he was highly distressed by the murder of the student who was on his way to seek knowledge and did not commit any offence apart from being a Christian and a citizen of Plateau State according to his murderers. He said ” If the killers of Ropvil justified their act on the fact that he is from Plateau State and a Christian, then it means he died for Plateau and Plateau State will not forget him. We will soon do something to keep his memory. His killers will never have peace and one day, they will pay the price of their evil whether here on earth or in the life after. Definitely their reward is hell, while his own reward is heaven”. The Governor asked the family to take solace in the fact that God who is the ultimate judge knows everything and will avenge the killing of Ropvil. The Mishkaham Mupun Mishkom Yusuf Wale Fwangbring who responded on behalf of the family thanked the Governor for personally visiting the family even after he had sent a delegation. He said though the community was devastated by the gruesome murder of their son, the outpouring of love and support from all citizens of Plateau State and Nigerians at large has strengthened them because the action of the terrorists has been condemned by many.

President Muhammadu Buhari is currently in a security council meeting with his security advisers and the service chiefs at the State House, Abuja.
Among those in attendance are the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha; Chief of Staff to the President, Abba Kyari; Minister of Defense Maj. Gen. Bashir Salihi Mahashi (Rtd.); Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola; and the National Security Adviser (NSA) Maj. Gen. Babagana Monguno (Rtd.).
Service chiefs in attendance include the Chief of Defense Staff, General Gabriel Olonisakin; Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai; Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Ibok Ekwe Ibas; Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshall Sadique Abubakar; Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu; Director-General of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), Ahmed Rafa’i Abubakar; and the Director-General of the Directorate of State Services (DSS) Yusuf Magaji Bichi.
The agenda of the meeting that took off at around 10am was not disclosed, but sources informed that the issue for discussion may not be more than the worsening security situation across the country.
It would be recalled that President Buhari, while hosting eminent citizens of Niger State on Tuesday, also expressed frustration at the turn security threats had taken in the last few years, pointing out that what is happening now is far beyond just insurgency, which was the case in 2015 when he took office, but an evil plot against the peace of the country.

During our campaigns, we knew about the Boko Haram. What is coming now is surprising. It is not ethnicity or religion, rather it is one evil plan against the country.
“We have to be harder on them. One of the responsibilities of government is to provide security. If we don’t secure the country, we will not be able to manage the economy properly,’’ he said.
It will also be recalled that the worsening security situation had propelled calls for the sack of the security chiefs as well as a new security architecture different from what currently subsists, as the current plan has woefully failed.
The meeting is still ongoing as at the time of filing this report.

Senator Dimka is happy that the Governor has issued a tall order for the perpetrators to be arrested and brought to book.

Member Representing Langtang North & South Federal Constituency Hon. Beni Lar has called for the sack of the Nations Security Chiefs & the total overhaul of the security architecture of the Nation.
Speaking on the floor of the house during plenary Tuesday, the ranking member who decried the level of insecurity in the country called on President Mohammadu Buhari to change the current service Chiefs whose tenure has since elapsed & make way for new people with fresh ideas.
” Boko Haram seems to have perfected their act, they seem to have a strategy that is working for them, roads are no longer pliable. All roads leading to maiduguri today have been declared unsafe. You cannot go anywhere near maiduguri & come back alive or come out without being kidnapped”.
” We cannot sit in this chamber & pretend that all is well, we need to ask ourselves what is the strategy of the military, what is the military doing to forestall all of this? There seems to be a failure of military intelligence, there seems to be absolutely no intelligence gathering”
For citizens from Plateau, Adamawa, Kaduna, Katsina, Zamfara & indeed the entire north east. Boko Haram seems to be ahead of everybody. The National Assembly has a role to play & we cannot shy away from that responsibility. The National Assembly ad-hoc committee on the Navy, the Army, the Airforce, the Police & the National Intelligence and Security Committee should tell us what is going on.
Intelligence gathering is not going on, there’s no strategy there’s no impact we are just like people in the wilderness, we are fighting a war with kids gloves , what we need is an explanation & I think we need to listen to the people in the northeast, they have been crying for a change in the security architecture of the country, the parliament has also been crying for it.
We should adapt a resolution that the speaker of the house & the senate president should meet the president and ask for the review of the security architecture of the country because most of the service Chiefs are sitting on expired offices. Maybe that is the reason this war is not being fought as it should.
Students on their way to school are being killed, plateau students are being kidnapped, I think the house needs to take drastic measures on this issue” she said.
This call is coming at the heels of the abduction & murder of Mr Ropvil Dapel a student of University of Maiduguri from plateau & the abduction of other Plateau indigens by Boko Haram.

ADDRESS BY THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, REP. FEMI GBAJABIAMILA ON THE RESUMPTION OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES FOR THE 2020 LEGISLATIVE SESSION ON THE 28TH OF JANUARY 2020.
PROTOCOLS
Good morning honourable colleagues. I welcome you all back to the chambers after the Christmas and New Year holidays and I thank you all for being here this morning. Though the House has not been in session these past few weeks, I am aware that for many of us, the work has never stopped and the obligations we hold have not been any less demanding. Still, I hope that you have taken time to rest, to recover and to prepare yourselves for the responsibilities that will continue to demand our time, our abilities and our continued efforts.
Yesterday, we stood to observe a moment’s silence in memory of our colleague Hon. Muhammadu Fagen-Gawo, who passed away recently. My dear colleagues, this 9th House of Representatives has in its very short lifetime suffered the loss of too many of our members. I am deeply troubled by this development. Yes, it is God who gives life and it is God who takes life. We will not question the decisions of our maker. Nonetheless, allow me to say once more as I have said before in this chamber that faithful execution of the responsibilities of our office requires of us that we pay close attention to our personal health. This is still very true. Beyond the obligations of our office, we have other responsibilities as fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters, sons and daughters that require us to take matters of our personal health with the utmost care. Let us never lose sight of this fact. And may God guide, protect and keep us all in good health and good fortune.
Upon the inauguration of this 9th House of Representatives in June 2019, we hit the ground running, working with the executive, and engaging the citizens of our country to discover and present solutions to the problems of our country. Some of our efforts have already yielded positive results in certain regards and I am hopeful that we will continue in this new year to meet and exceed the standards that we have set for ourselves.
For the first time since 1999, we have a budget passed by the legislature and signed into law before the start of the implementation year. I commend and thank all the members of this House for your efforts towards achieving early passage of the Appropriation Act 2020 and the Finance Act, both of which have now been signed into law by His Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR. Honourable colleagues, passing the budget into law is merely the beginning. We now have a duty to ensure faithful compliance with the letter and spirit of the law by the ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) of the Federal Government. We will carry out this responsibility and we will do so with integrity, taking pains to ensure that we leave no room for neither friends nor foes to find fault with our words or deeds.
That Appropriation Act reflects the priorities of this government. These priorities are the same today as they have always been; to develop public infrastructure to meet the needs of a rapidly growing population, to facilitate investment in new and existing industries; to provide educational opportunities for all our people, and build an economy that allows every citizen to achieve their just ambitions. Our role as legislators is to ensure that the agencies responsible for implementing this budget maintain fidelity to these priorities. We will not be afraid to hold people’s feet to the fire where necessary. Where it is required of us that we act to review and update legislation, we will do so too. We will not act alone; we will not be arbitrary in our interventions. We will seek collaboration as a matter, of course, so that our interventions do not exacerbate existing problems or create new ones.
In this new year, this House will further take all necessary action to pass into law the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) and to implement the much needed and long-delayed reforms of the sector. It is an unavoidable truth that the oil and gas industry is integral to the economic life of Nigeria. Achieving efficient operation in this sector is, therefore, a matter of national survival. We cannot allow these much-needed and too long-delayed reforms to continue to be hostage to the privileged interests of a few or the myopic considerations of those whose interests are served by the status quo. We will seek reform, we will achieve reform, and we will do so in collaboration with the executive, with stakeholders in the industry and with those communities that most directly bear the highest costs of our exploration and sale of fossil fuels.
In 2019, the House of Representatives led interventions to address the challenges faced by the less abled amongst our citizens. We observed the International Day of People with Disabilities with an event here in the National Assembly, which was intended first to highlight the many challenges faced by those of our citizens with disabilities, and then to build support for necessary action to address those challenges. On that day, we renewed our commitment to take all necessary action to promote accessibility for the less abled, bring down those barriers that stand in the way of their highest aspirations and build a future free of the injustices that limit them and condemn us all. The House of Representatives will live up to those commitments, and we will do so expeditiously through legislative action and through collaboration with stakeholders across the country, in government and in the private sector.
Honourable colleagues, the ongoing evolution of our nation’s democracy requires of us that we continually review and update the rules of our engagement. We have just emerged from an elections season that for its numerous successes, nonetheless exposed significant gaps in the process that if left unaddressed, threaten our democracy. Electoral reforms are not a party political issue, they are a matter of loyalty to an ideal that is greater than the party to which one belongs to, or the personal ambitions we may each hold. Electoral reforms are a matter of our nation’s future, and I ask of you all that when the time comes to achieve the reforms we need, we do so with the utmost commitment to fairness and equity, respect for the rule of law and with abiding hope for a better future for all our people.
There are a number of other initiatives we began in 2019 that require our continued commitment. These include efforts by the House to see to the full and profitable operation of the Warri, Port – Harcourt, Calabar, Onne and Onitsha Inland Ports; reforms of the power sector to ensure fairness in the billing system as well as allow for the development of an industry that is attractive to investment and capable of serving the best interests of the Nigerian people. We will not relent in pursuing these goals, as creating economic opportunity for all our people helps us solve the other problems that threaten the continued viability of the Nigerian state.
Honourable colleagues, since we last convened in these chambers, there have been developments in the public space that concern us. We have witnessed across the country, a recognisable uptick in crime, manifested through the activities of bandits destroying communities, kidnappers operating for profit and insurgents seeking to remake our world in the image of a discredited theocracy.
All people of conscience mourn the loss of a reverend and a senior member of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in Adamawa State, Mr Lawan Adimi, a good and honourable man, who through the church and in his personal capacity served the people of his community earning their reverence and our collective gratitude. In the midst of our mourning, our hearts were broken once more by the release of a video depicting the gruesome assassination of Mr Ropvil Dalep Daciya, a student from Plateau State who was abducted by suspected Boko Haram terrorists on his way back to school at the University of Maiduguri.
God forbid that it is now our nation’s fate to live forever under the threat of abduction and murder. What gaps and weaknesses continue to exist in the national security infrastructure that makes us more susceptible to the machinations of those who seek to achieve wealth and power through brutal violence? How do we achieve for all our people, a just and honourable peace? These questions are never too far from my mind, and I know that it is the same for you too because often it is you who are at the frontlines responding to the concerns of constituents who have themselves been victimised and those who fear that the moment of their own affliction is only a matter of time and circumstance.
Honourable colleagues, this House will shortly take action to put these questions before those agencies of our national security to whom our constitution and other legislation have granted the powers and the resources to ensure the safety and security of all our people. Our cup of endurance has run over and we are no longer willing to labour under these dark clouds of random violence inflicted upon our people by faceless cowards whose ends we do not understand, and whose means we do not know. Overcoming our overwhelming national security challenges now requires of us all that we be willing to accept new approaches and consider novel ideas. Neither the security institutions nor political leaders can afford to hold on too tightly to a status quo whose frustrating limitations are painfully evident, whilst reflexively rejecting innovations that may improve our fortunes if properly implemented.
Recently, the Governors of Lagos, Ogun, Osun, Ekiti, Oyo and Ondo states took action to implement a regional security network to support the efforts of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) in preventing crime and protecting the lives and property of those our citizens who live, work and travel through these states. The establishment of Àmòtékùn, as the network is called, has met with commentary from across the country, both for and against. Too often, it has seemed to me that lost in these interactions is the hard, brutal and unavoidable fact that Àmòtékùn and other such state or zonal interventions that already quietly exist in other parts of the country are a desperate response to the vile manifestations of insecurity that trouble the lives of citizens, depriving them of the peace and security that gives life meaning.
I do not know that Àmòtékùn or whatever iterations of it may follow represents the ultimate or perfect solution to the problem of insecurity in our country. Nobody does thay. What I do know with absolute clarity and certainty is that the localised manifestations of insecurity across the different parts of our country call for unique and localised approaches that take those peculiarities into account. What I also know, is that whichever approach we seek, we are obligated to work within the limits imposed by the constitution to which we all swear allegiance. Above all else, I am certain in the knowledge that doing nothing is not an option. We have a responsibility as legislators to support the best efforts of those who act with noble intent to protect our citizens.
I, therefore, call on the Leader of the House of Representatives and the Minority Leader to take active steps to bring to the floor, appropriate amendments to the constitution that will ensure that these and other righteous interventions to protect the life and property of our citizens are firmly in compliance with the laws of the land.
Honourable colleagues, I invite you now to avert your minds to the matter of the millions of Nigerian children and teenagers who are out of school across the country. The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) estimates that about 10.5 million of our nation’s children aged between five (5) and fourteen (14) years are not in school. The Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) puts the number higher at 13.2 million. Personally, I believe these numbers to be low estimates, but regardless of which number you accept, we cannot escape the conclusion that we have on our hands a huge problem, a clear and present danger the consequences of which are too dire to ignore.
Everywhere you go in the big cities of Nigeria, we now have on our streets, legions of children begging for alms from sunup till past dusk. These millions of young people with neither the training nor the awareness they need to survive, to contribute to, and to benefit from the 21st-century knowledge economy are victims of the broken promises of our nationhood. They are at risk of exploitation, vulnerable to recruitment by human and organ traffickers, by criminal elements, and insurgents. Their fate is inextricably bound to the fate of Nigeria. If we work to give them a future of prosperity and progress, we will achieve the same outcomes for Nigeria. If we condemn them to a future of deprivation and exploitation, that too will be our collective fate.
I, therefore, propose that this House of Representatives resolves to dedicate a special plenary session with nothing else on the order paper, save to consider the issue of Nigeria’s millions of out of school children, with a special focus on the fate of Almajiri children in Nigeria. This will be an open session and all members are enjoined to develop proposals for consideration, for debate and adoption by the House. We do not intend for our deliberations and resolutions on this important issue to languish unattended. Therefore, we will extend invitations to the various ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) of government who have roles to play and we will seek the participation of non-governmental organisations who have a proven track record of successful interventions in this regard. In this way, we can hope to achieve immediate implementation and measurable improvement of these dire statistics.
The age of rapid movement of millions of people responding to the demands of global trade every so often throws up challenges we must confront and overcome. The recently discovered coronavirus is one of such challenges. My office has been briefed by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) on our nation’s preparedness to prevent the occurrence of this disease here in Nigeria, as well as contingency plans to prevent escalation. The NCDC working with the Ministry of Health, the Ports Health Services, the United States Centre for Disease Control (USCDC), and the World Health Organisation (WHO) amongst others has put in place protocols for identifying, isolating and testing those who are deemed to be most at risk. And they have enhanced screening and surveillance at our nation’s ports of entry. There are no direct flights from the Peoples Republic of China to Nigeria, so we do not have the option of placing an embargo on flights coming from there. However, the NCDC maintains open lines of communication with the government of the Peoples Republic of China to ensure that passengers coming from there through whatever route are identified and screened at the ports of entry. I commend the government of the Peoples Republic of China for their proactive actions to contain the spread of this disease, even as I commiserate with them on the loss of lives caused by this breakout. I ask all Nigerians and people resident in Nigeria to assist the efforts of the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) by taking basic sanitary precautions. Avoid self-medication, avoid panic and report to the nearest medical facility if you or anyone you know has travelled to the affected regions within the last fourteen days.
Finally, my dear colleagues, I wish to acknowledge with the greatest gratitude the efforts of our men and women in uniform who are at this moment, taking risks and offering the supreme sacrifice to help peace take hold in troubled places all across our dear country. They are the best of us, to whom we owe not only our gratitude but also our continued dedication to the offices we hold. We must through our efforts in improving the lives of our people, make ourselves worthy of the sacrifices that these men and women have made and continue to make on our behalf.
I thank you all once more. I welcome you all back to the House of Representatives and I wish all of us a successful year of measurable achievement as we work together to achieve the joint task of nation-building.
God bless you all. God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
