The Plateau State Governor, Simon
Lalong, has approved N40m for the
purchase of rams and cows as
Muslims mark the festival of Eid-el-
Kabir.
The governor said that the gesture
was to cushion the effects of soaring
prices of goods
Lalong, who disclosed this through
his Deputy Chief of Staff, Mr. Yusuf
Hawaja, said that his administration
would always make the welfare of the
citizens the priority of his
government.
Hawaja spoke to newsmen after
presenting foodstuffs and a cow to the
Jos prison inmates and Aisha Mana
Orphanage Home in Jos on
Wednesday.
He said that as part of the tradition of
government in the state, he was
giving out some rams and rice for the
Muslims to celebrate in happiness.
Hawaja said, “The Lalong
administration will not relent until he
achieves his goals of ensuring the
welfare of his people. More good
things will come and we will continue
to render services to the people.”
