Senator representing Plateau South Senatorial District and former Governor of Plateau State Simon Bako Lalong has lauded President Tinubu for the appointments of Hon. Sa’ad Ibrahim Bello as Federal Commissioner, Revenue Mobilisation, Allocation and Fiscal Commission and Chief Ayuba Burki Gufwan to head the National Commission for Persons with Disabilities.
Statement made available to News Parrot Online and was signed by
Dr. Makut SimonMacham Special Adviser Media to Senator Simon Bako Lalong, Plateau South Senatorial District stated that Lalong describes the appointments as putting the square pecks in square holes as the appointees are suitably qualified and have the experience and capacity to occupy the positions and serve the nation.
On the appointment of Hon. Sa’ad Bello who was until recently the Senior Legislative Aide to Senator Lalong, the former Plateau State Governor said Sa’ad’s vast experience as former member of the Plateau State House of Assembly, former Commissioner for Water Resources and Energy among others, put him in a good stead to contribute towards harnessing and distributing the nation’s resources in his new office.
He described Hon. Sa’ad as a man of integrity and competence who has proven time and again that he is out to serve the public interest and not personal aggrandisement.
Senator Lalong also praised the President for appointing Chief Ayuba Burki Gufwan to head the National Commission for Persons With Disabilities saying he is aptly suited for the job.
Lalong said Chief Burki apart from being a person living with disability and defying all odds to succeed in all areas of his endeavour, has worked hard to motivate other colleagues to adopt the “can do spirit”.
He said through his Beautiful Gate Handicapped People Foundation, Chief Burki has reached out to thousands of people and empowered them to engage in many ventures that have removed them from poverty and discrimination.
While wishing the two appointees very successful tenures, Lalong urges them to make the nation and the people of Plateau proud because they come with sound pedigrees.
He prays God to grant them wisdom and courage to do the needful in actualizing President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
