A one-time Secretary to the Government of Plateau state, SSG, Nde Ezekiel Gomos is now to head the state’s Economic Advisory Council.
This decision was contained in a press statement; issued by the director of press affairs to the Plateau state governor, Simon Macham Makut.
The decision was due to the serious impact of the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic on the global economy as well as its effect on Nigeria’s economy and by extension the Plateau State economy.
Governor Simon Lalong who gave the directive, charged Chief Gomos “to immediately brainstorm and come up with practical and comprehensive strategies on the sustainability and continuation of the State Economy under COVID-19.
“To ensure that Plateau State adapts to this new economic reality, the Governor has equally directed the Council to put together a post-COVID road map for the Plateau State economy especially for its revival and recovery.
“To achieve this task, the Governor has mandated the Council to liaise and consult extensively with all Ministries, Department and Agencies; Local Government Councils; key private sector players in the State in the manufacturing, agriculture, banking and finance; hospitality and entertainment; trade and commerce; ICT; mining sector; and other important stakeholders like the MSMEs; the informal sector; Trade Associations; Chambers of Commerce; development partners NGOS and CSOs, Labour Unions etc”, Makut emphasised in the statement.
The Council is expected to submit periodic policy and strategic recommendations to the governor on the state economy under COVID19 and beyond.
