Senator representing Plateau South Senatorial District and former Governor of Plateau State Simon Bako Lalong has praised President/CEO of the Digital Bridge Institute Abuja Mr. David Daser for his contributions to the successes recorded by his administration in the area of Information and Communication Technology which drove many reforms that he initiated.

Lalong who was special guest at a Special Thanksgiving Service by David Daser held at the Baptist Church, Kagu, Pankshin Local Government Area of Plateau State said Daser has contributed enormously to the development of Plateau State and Nigeria using his skills and passion in the field of ICT.

He recalled how David Daser upon appointment as pioneer DG of Plateau Information Technology Development Agency (PICTDA), brought up a lot of innovations and drove the Agency to national and international recognition.

Lalong said Daser is a committed, innovative and dedicated person who was instrumental to a lot of government reforms that required the utilisation of science and technology especially revenue generation, blocking of leakages, transparency and efficiency.

He said the appointment of Daser as President/CEO of the Digital Bridge Institute by President Bola Tinubu was therefore not surprising because he had made a name for himself and established competence in the ICT industry.

Senator Lalong therefore admonished Plateau to always recognise and utilise its best brains rather than ignoring them because of political considerations.

In his sermon, guest speaker Rev. Dr. Japhlet Kyenlong advised Nigerians to serve humanity and their nation recognising that their service is unto God who gave them the opportunity to serve.

He described David Daser as a diligent young man who has touched many lives and submitted himself to training and mentoring other younger persons.

While thanking God for his life, the celebrant David Daser said he came back to his roots to show appreciation to God for raising him and offering him privilege to be useful in society and also contributing to the development of society.

He thanked God for allowing his path to cross with great men and women like Senator Simon Lalong who provided him the platform to showcase his gifts and talents.

Daser also appreciated President Bola Tinubu for giving him the privilege to serve as the President/CEO of the Digital Bridge Institute. He also appreciated Minister of Communication and Digital Economy Dr. Bosun Tijjani for his support and guidance in his new assignment, promising not to let Plateau and Nigeria down.

Senator Lalong later visited the village of his former Chief Security Officer and current Commander Mobile Police Unit Shendam ACP Danat Ephraim Dakin to congratulate him and also appreciate the community for their support and prayers.

He donated a borehole for the community and also assured them that the partnership and collaboration will continue in the years ahead.

Senator Lalong later visited the President, Court of Appeal Hon. Justice Monica Dongban-Mensem at her village Angwan Rina, Shendam Local Government as she observed the memorial Mass for her late father.

He consoled with her and prayed for the repose of the soul of her late father whom he described as a man of peace, integrity and vision.
