Senator representing Plateau South Senatorial District Simon Lalong on Wednesday 9th July 2025 moved a motion to inform his colleagues about the sad demise of late Prof. Janet Diket Plang, wife of the Senator representing Plateau Central Senatorial District.
Lalong told his colleagues that the late Prof. Janet Diket Plang was until her demise a lecturer at the Department of Sociology, University of Jos.
She died at the University of Jos Teaching Hospital where she was receiving treatment for an ailment.
According to him, the deceased was a hardworking, industrious and committed mother, teacher, mentor and backbone to support to her husband and children.
Lalong informed the Senate that the death of the late Professor is a devastating development to Senator Diket as she was not only a reliable partner, but a confidant in his political journey where he served as Local Government Chairman, Member Plateau State House of Assembly, Commissioner and now Senator.
Deputy Senate President Senator Barau Jibrin who presided over the day’s plenary expressed deep sorrow over the death of the wife of their colleague.
He prayed God to grant her soul eternal rest and comfort the Senator and people of Plateau State.
A minute silence was observed in her honour while the Senate will in due course send an official delegation to condole their colleague.
