The Plateau State House of Assembly, on Thursday, gave the State Governor, Simon Lalong, a resounding pass mark for meeting up with the six resolutions slammed on him following the insecurity that ravaged the state recently.
In a press conference at the State House of Assembly, Hon. Philip Dasun, chairman, House Committee on Information also passed a vote of confidence on the Speaker of the House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Abok Ayubu .
Dasun said the reasons why the Assembly Members gave Governor Lalong kudos was as a result of his meeting up with the five out of the six resolutions handed out to him.
According to Dasun, "We felt it is important as an organized institution. We have a duty to communicate back to the people of Plateau State on the outcome of the resolution and of the present position of the Assembly.
"First, we thank God for the return of Peace in the State. We gave a six item resolution to the Executive Governor to act on within two weeks. He has so far been able to address five of the items, remaining one that is on-going."
The House however affirmed that governor Lalong has met up with the demands of the House by meeting up with five out of the resolutions by visiting and engaging the people through the distribution of relief materials and cushioning the effects of the killings.
Among the resolutions met by the Governor includes; the improvement of security situation in the state by engaging the advance security operatives; the suspension of the plan on ad-hoc teachers recruitment to replace it with the vigilante and local hunters, as well as the implementation of the anti- land grabbing law, to enable those occupying illegal lands in Plateau state to vacate such lands for the native owners to get back their lands.
The House, according to Dasun, said" We call on the Executive to expedite action on the formation of the Anti-Land Grabbing Board to facilitate the process of land recovery.
Expressing their positions, the House of Assembly also said as an institution, it will henceforth not condone any act of insecurity and killings in Plateau state, among others. NNL.
