Campaign Promises: Open Letter Gov. Simon Bako Lalong

Note: this article was first published from www.nairaland.com

 Dear Simon Bako Lalong,

Your Excellency, Sir, permit me to convey my warmest congratulation to you on your anticipated one year anniversary as  executive Governor of Plateau State.

Furthermore, I have to state clearly that I casted my vote for you during the 2015 general election, not because I totally believed in your government to bring the needed change to the Jos-North Muslim Ummah but because, just like other residents of Jos-North, I didn’t want the previous administration to remain in power (a decision I still don’t regret) because the administration is believed to be anti- Jos North Muslim Ummah.

Your Excellency, I wish to say that I’m disappointed by some of your administration’s policies so far.
Sir, to start with, I don’t understand why it is difficult for your administration to come up with a convincing template for the implementation of Jos-North Muslim Ummah’s proposals before you.

Sir, I hope you are not deceived that you have already accommodated Jos-North Muslim Ummah in your appointments, because the immediate past administration’s efforts towards the Ummah far outweigh what you have done. To be specific, in that administration we were given (1) Deputy Speaker (2) Chairman Board, Pilgrim (3) Special Adviser (4) Senior Special Assistant. You must surpass this effort to garner our community’s accolade.

In the immediate past administration many of our people were given access to Government contracts as such People like Hajiya Jamila Gwandu Yaro MaiRaki and Co were fully made.
Secondly, Sir, I wish to remind you some of your promises before, during and after election, specifically the ones you made at your house during our elders visit to your house and published in the national dailies and I quote, you said at the time that ” without the Jasawa community I wouldn’t have won the general election. I therefore promise to fulfill all the points they have put forward to me”.

So to understand our verdict of your performance on each of these promises so far, read below:

(a) ROADS: Your Excellency Sir, you promised to rehabilitate the entire Jos-North roads, including a special consideration for the dilapidated Unguwar Rogo/Rimi road. Sir, how many of these roads have been rehabilitated since you got to office and where? You promised to construct Unguwar Rogo/Rimi roads promptly, so I asked the question to you: Sir, have you allocated money for the reconstruction of this Unguwar Rogo/Rimi road in the 2016 Appropriation Law. Or your promise is still not ripe? You promised to network our roads. Please Sir, what is your administration progress report on this? You may wish to know, the Immediate previous administration constructed ‘Yan Doya , Rikkos and Aneyi Street roads. I think you should consider that as a challenge too.

(b) DISTRICT CREATION: Sir, you promised to create more district in the state with a special promise to consider Jos-North Ummah proposal. Sir, though I think your responses on District creation is inadequate and vague. Government is still very stingy with official statements on the issue. Sir, How far have you gone on this issue so far?

(c) Re:CONSTRUCTION OF TERMINUS MARKET: Sir, what is happening to the seven Companies proposal for the reconstruction of the market. Sir, is a day fixed for the bidding?

(d) LOCAL GOVERNMENT ELECTIONs: Sir, why has your administration refused to conduct local Governments election? I heard that you are preparing to send another request for the 4th term to the State Assembly for extension of time to the Local Government caretaker management, what could that mean, Sir.

(e) ENVIRONMENTAL SANITATION: Sir, is your administration incapable to put Ahmadu Bello way and Old Bukuru Park in good sanitary condition?

Your Excellency Sir, Jos-North Muslim Community are still your partners in progress, despite been in charge you are still receiving our kind gestures. Just recently one of our own donated 30 youth Job slots to you in his Services Company operating within the state. I hereby wish to advise you on the last note that you shall never take a risk of conducting Local Government election in Jos-North without fulfilling these promises undertaken by your humble self, or your party will stand the risk of losing the council election.

The earlier you consider a supplementary Budget for the construction of Unguwar Rogo/Rimi road  the better for your political future. Because without that road, no amount of politicking will give APC victory in the Incoming Local Government election. Unguwar Rogo’s vote will surely go to the opposition party. Finally, I wish to state clearly that this letter is not in support of any of your opposition/or opponents, if you have any, but in sole support of what is good for this state.

Yours In nation Building:
Comrade Ali Shehu Akawu

There’s no other place like Nigeria in the continent the country finds itself. Its dynamic people reveal a layer of history preserved through rich traditions handed down over time, and its breathtaking landscape couldn’t be more diverse.

With an eclectic mix of wild and modern, its cities, both urban and regional alike showcase a kaleidoscope of civilization as intriguing as the ancestors that tilled its earth to yield great fruit.

Some say beauty lies in the eye of the smitten. To the wanderer seeking rest in an ever busy world, Jovago.com, reveals the 5 most beautiful cities in Nigeria they can call home.

Victoria Island,

Here, is the land of rich and famous, is a medley of high-rise buildings and majestic lakes. This elegant nest surrounded by blue-ocean, with a bustling cultural heritage and a high standard of living tops the show with its transformative grandeur, world-class affinity for entertainment, art, and alluring café culture.

For a land that experiences summer all-year-round, dozens of fairy-tale out-door sports mark the existence of its people. Jet skiing, kayaking, go-kart racing are a few activities that make for memorable open-air pursuits.

Abuja

Abuja celebrates its magnificent past with stunning rock formations around the seat of the Presidency. Fabulous marble palazzos and vast expanse of land yet untapped are an investors dream. The Usman Dam lakes oozes timeless sophistication with its postcard- landscape and coral-coloured seascape.

Some cities are full of artificial architectural wonders, others have nature on their side. Abuja toes the fine line on each side of the turf, offering nomads a wealth of natural splendour along with a fascinating affiliation to West Africa’s most powerful government.

Quirky huts stand side by side with contemporary façade designs along the compelling streets of Maitama, and romantic national parks resplendent with rare flora and fauna dot the central sphere of the country. It’s exquisite mix of quaintness, blue waters, and high-end hedonism, give this place an aura of the most driven city in Nigeria.

Calabar

Seductive, harmonious Calabar is everyone’s dream city. Much of the state’s originality comes from the diversity of its landscape.

Aerial view of the reception area of Tinapa Resort.

Teeming with remarkable ancient memorials; its mountainous interior dotted with delightful, unspoilt villages and natural treasures which span thousands of millennia. Its coastal shores are speckled with pretty seashells and the surrounding towns forming glorious backdrops with whitewashed villages and dramatic scenery.

For nature lovers, the neighbouring Obudu National Park and Tinapa resorts is home to some of Nigeria’s highest mountain ranges, where the ancient gods are believed to have met with humanity according to Efik folklore. And then there’s the food, the art month-long annual festivals, and the rich traditions that gives the city its global fame.

Jos

The amazing tranquil city of Jos, set against natures’ glorious backdrop and with hills standing tall under the magical of the northern wind is one to behold. The mix of a dialect so unique to its people and vibrant vistas makes this a hub you’ll never forget.

Here, at the crossroads of modernity, Jos coexist with churches and mosques interwoven to reflect a common belief of love and fellowship among its people. Some of the world famous pre-historic archaeological sites are nestled in the deep forest ranges of the town. Locals are friendly, the food is exotic and possibilities are endless.

JUST IN: Ministry of Education Removes C.R.K From Curriculum

The Federal Ministry of Education has announced that in order to reduce the workload of primary and junior secondary pupils, they will be cutting down subjects from 20 to a maximum of ten subjects under the nine-year basic educational curriculum in order to align with International standards.
To achieve this, the ministry of Education will be partnering with the Nigerian Educational Research and Development Council (NERDC). However, subjects like Christian Religious Studies (CRS) and Islamic Religious Studies (IRS), which are separately taught, will now be merged under a compulsory subject known as Religion and National Values (RNV). Other subjects brought under the RNV include Civic Education, Social Studies, and Security Education.

AUTHENTIC News Daily can authoritatively report that in its bid at reducing the workload of students, the Federal Ministry of Education has announced that it would eliminate core religious subjects from its curriculum, in a plan involving the Nigerian Educational Research and Development Council (NERDC).
Those that would be affected if this scales through and is implemented are primary school pupils and junior secondary students from all parts of Nigeria.
The plan is to trim down to 10, the total number of subjects to be offered from the present 20, under the nine-year basic educational curriculum in order to meet up with international best practices.
To achieve this, the ministry of Education will be partnering with the Nigerian Educational Research and Development Council (NERDC).
However, subjects like Christian Religious Studies (CRS) and Islamic Religious Studies (IRS), which are separately taught, will now be merged under a compulsory subject known as Religion and National Values (RNV). Other subjects brought under the RNV include Civic Education, Social Studies, and Security Education.
But those asked to comment on the development described it as an impossible ‘pipe dream’.
“This cannot be possible in a multi-religious  country like this. Okay, if it is possible, the teacher teaching the subject will it be a Christian or a Muslim?” Mr. Paul Chukwu, an Abuja resident queried.
For a school administrator also in the nation’s capital, when asked if she was aware of the development, she said she hadn’t and that those mulling such ideas should abandon them because in a country like Nigeria, religion is a very emotional issue that can lead to serios conflicts if not properly managed.
