Gov. Lalong to return missionary schools in Plateau to owners
Governor Simon Lalong of Plateau has promised to return missionary schools in the state to their original owners.
Mr Lalong made the promise when the Association of Papal Knights and Medalists in Nigeria paid him a courtesy visit at the Government House, Jos.
In a statement by the governor’s spokesperson, Makut Macham, on Sunday in Jos, Mr Lalong said the missionary schools would be returned to their original owners as soon as the committee to look into the matter submitted its report.
He thanked the association for picking the state to host its 14th national conference and commended the members for their contributions to the growth of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
The governor also commended them for their efforts in raising leaders who had impacted different fields.
Earlier in her remarks, the association’s national president, Dame Uduehi, thanked Mr Lalong for his commitment to service and efforts towards changing the negative narrative of the state.
She urged him to sustain the tempo for the remaining part of his administration to leave an enduring legacy for the people.
Ms Uduehi also appreciated his devotion to the Catholic Church and constant involvement in activities that related to the propagation of the gospel.
