After series of engagements in Abuja which include presiding over the election of his successor at the Northern Governors Forum as well as the official launch of his book “40 Days 40 Nights”, Plateau State Governor Simon Bako Lalong has resumed the commissioning of projects executed by his administration in the State.
Having done some commissionings in the Northern Zone last week, the Governor on Wednesday 24th May 2023 commenced the commissioning of projects in the Southern Zone at Mabudi Langtang South Local Government Area.
He commissioned the Mabudi General Hospital which he inherited as an abandoned project at foundation level but decided to compete it in line with his policy of continuity.
This was contained in a statement by Dr. Makut Simon Macham, Director of Press and Public Affairs to the Governor of Plateau State to Apex News Exclusive.
He described the project as a very significant milestone in health delivery in the State saying that quality and affordable secondary healthcare services will now be available for the people.
He also commissioned the Ajikamai internal road networks comprising of 9 completed roads.
He also inspected the bridge linking Ajikamai in Shendam and Gangnum in Langtang South which is still under construction. Four other roads within the Ajikamai area were also inspected.
The Governor also commissioned the Model Primary school Yelwa which is one of the Lalong Legacy Projects.
“These commissionings clearly show that our administration has done a lot in the last 8 years in a bid to fulfill its social contract with the people. We believe is spreading our projects and not concentrating in one area because no part of the State is more important to another. Many can testify that politics has not also influenced our citing of projects because even places where our party did not get votes have projects” he said.
The Governor had earlier performed the coronation and presentation of staff of office to His Royal Highnesses Ponzhi Byan, Chief Clappertun Durven who is now Upgraded to 2nd Class.
He said “The installation and presentation of staff of office to the Ponzhi Byan today is a good omen to the people of Langtang South as we bring more development to the people. Earlier on, we commissioned the General Hospital, Mabudi which is one of the abandoned projects we took over at foundation level”.
More projects are expected to be commissioned in the Southern Zone before the Governor moves to other zones.
