Gov. Lalong Says He will Continue to Work for Peace

The executive governor of Plateau State, his Excellency Simon Lalong has said he will continue to work for peace and unity among the people of the state devoid of religious and ethnic differences.

Lalong gave the assurance at a memorial Mass for his late uncle, Stephen Sule, and other deceased relations on Saturday in Shendam.

He also explained why he chose to build infrastructure in schools and hospitals before he would employ more personnel.

According him, he met dilapidated structures that were not conducive for learning.
The governor, however, assured that workers would be employed after issues of the new N30, 000 minimum wage were sorted out.

Lalong, then, explained why he has the name ‘Sule’ as his surname in some documents, saying that the late Stephen Sule adopted him as his son.

“Late Sule went to his brothers in the village and told them that he wanted a male child to train because there was no primary school in Ajikamai, my village, then.

“Quickly my father gave me to him, saying take this one, he is your son, henceforth.
“I met other children in his house and all of us were using his name.

“It was my uncle that told me when I was in form five that I had now grown up, and that I should change to my father’s name.

“He told me that I am the first son, if I don’t change it, my siblings would be confused.
“I changed to my father’s name and today it has become a subject of litigation,” he explained.

The governor prayed God for the repose of the soul of his uncle whom God used to help him to become what he is today.
