<\/p>\n

Following the prevailing security situation that has bedeviled the country; the Plateau State Government has announced that the swearing-in and inauguration of Governor Simon Lalong into office for a second term would be low keyed in solidarity with the Federal Government.<\/p>\n

The government equally said the swearing-in ceremony would be without the usual funfair.<\/p>\n

This was disclosed by the Chairman Central Planning Committee and Deputy Governor of the State, Prof. Sonni Tyoden, while briefing journalists in Jos.<\/p>\n

Tyoden said, \u201cWe thank God for the relative peace we are enjoying in Plateau, but we decided to observe the forthcoming inauguration\/swearing-in of the second term in office of Governor Simon Lalong in a low key in solidarity with the Federal government due to the insecurity in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe celebration will be observed in a low key manner; we are taking a cue from the Federal government.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Deputy Governor appreciated the people of the state for their support during the recently-concluded general elections.<\/p>\n

He said the activities would begin with Jumaat prayer, golf tournament, church service, pre-inaugural dinner and the inauguration proper on Wednesday, May 29, 2019.\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
