Minister of labour and employment, Simon Lalong has said the experience he garnered in pursuing peace building and conflict management in Platea State is assisting him in his current assignment as he works to ensure industrial harmony for the delivery of President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
Lalong spoke on Sunday at a thanksgiving service organised by the Izere Nation to honour the immediate past secretary to Plateau State government, Prof Danladi Abok Atu held at the St. Paul’s Catholic Pastoral Area, Lamingo Gwafan, Jos North local government area.
He said the years of hard-work and sacrifices in building an inclusive Plateau State devoid of discrimination, oppression and injustice provided a platform for all citizens to be part of governance.
The former governor of Plateau State said building of confidence and trust is essential for any government to succeed particularly where there are agitations, grievances or differences that could be exploited if not properly handled.
According to him, Tinubu is desirous of developing Nigeria by ensuring that workers give their best in the public and private sectors, hence the quick attention given to the recent planned labour strike which was averted through dialogue.
Lalong used the opportunity to thank the former Secretary to Plateau State Government, Prof Danladi Abok Atu whom he said worked very hard with others in implementing the Rescue Agenda of his administration.
Catholic Archbishop of Jos, Ishaya Audu, described the former governor as a political leader with vision and passion for carrying everyone along and working with experienced persons like Prof Danladi Abok Atu to serve the people to their best ability.
