    In a significant and heartfelt meeting, Rt. Hon. Yusuf Adamu Gagdi, PhD, OON, met with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the second time within the last 30 days.

    The meeting underscored Gagdi’s unwavering dedication to addressing pressing national issues, especially concerning security and the welfare of suffering Nigerians.

    Gagdi, a loyal member of the APC and a dedicated representative, engaged in a candid discussion with President Tinubu. His focus was on the deteriorating security situation in the country and the challenging living conditions faced by many Nigerians, which have been exacerbated by certain government policies. Gagdi emphasized the severe hardships experienced by rural dwellers, sharing first-hand accounts from his continuous interactions with the grassroots. In response, President Tinubu reaffirmed his commitment to prioritizing the welfare of the citizens.

    Expressing his gratitude, Gagdi thanked President Tinubu for the recent board appointments awarded to deserving individuals from Plateau State. Notably, the appointment of Rt. Hon. Emmanuel Goar as a Governing Board Member of the Federal University of Medical Sciences, Otukpo, was highlighted. However, Gagdi, like Oliver Twist, did not hesitate to request additional federal appointments and projects for his constituency.

    The discussion also covered the vacant Plateau State seat in the Federal Executive Council. President Tinubu assured that an appointment would soon be made, acknowledging the patience and maturity displayed by the Plateau people during this period of non-representation.

    On a somber note, Gagdi extended his heartfelt condolences to the victims of the recent school collapse in Jos. He expressed deep sorrow over the tragic incident that claimed the lives of young students with bright futures. Gagdi wished the hospitalized victims a swift recovery and offered his sympathies to the families who lost their loved ones, praying for strength and fortitude in this difficult time.

    In a bid to help farmers boost the growth of their crops and increase their yields, Rt. Hon. Gwottson Dalyop Fom has distributed over 1,000 bags of 25kg golden fertilizer to farmers across the 67 hamlets of Kuru District, where he hails from.

    Gwottson, who was the former Deputy speaker of the 10th Assembly of Plateau state, pointed out that agriculture was a major source of livelihood in Kuru, so he thought it wise to step in and support farmers in the community, considering the escalation of prices of commodities in the market.

    “My people, who are predominantly farmers, are struggling to buy fertilizer. I’m no longer in office today, but I know how hard the times are. God has been gracious and merciful to me and I dim it fit to do the same for others. I know exactly how it feels to be desperately needy. This is my major motivation for all the philanthropic work I have done all these years. As for this fertilizer, we have set in place an all-inclusive sharing formula void of any bias whatsoever,” he added.

    The TIC Chairman of Jos South LGA, Hon. Peter Vwang Dung who performed the symbolic presentation of fertilizer to Traditional leaders and hamlet representatives, described Gwottson as a remarkable leader and son who is sensitive to the times. He applauded him for contributing his quota to helping the masses at such a time as this. Vwang-Dung urged the beneficiaries to resist the temptation of selling the fertilizer.

    Speaking on behalf of the immediate past members of PLHA who graced the occasion, Rt. Hon Moses Sule, the former Speaker, commended Gwottson for allowing God to use him as an instrument of positive impact. He pointed out the remarkable contributions of Gwottson during their stay in office and maintained that Kuru District should count themselves blessed to have a son like him. He concluded by besieging the populace to use the fertilizer precisely for the purpose it’s meant for.

    In the words of Hon. Ishaku Maren, former Majority leader of the 10th Assembly, “Rt. Hon. Fom Gwottson is an exceptional leader. In one way or the other, we have all tapped from what God has endowed in him, which is why, despite being notified of this program just yesterday, 11 out of 16 displaced members of the Assembly are here today.”


    The acting Gbong Gwom Kuru, Dagwom Kushe – Da Pius Jugu, who spoke on behalf of the Kuru traditional council, maintained that Hon. Gwottson has been known for his philanthropic gestures spanning over a decade in Kuru community and beyond. He eulogized and branded him a son in whom Kuru is well pleased. He then showered prayers for abundant blessings and prosperity on Hon. Gwottson.

    Da. Bulus Kwis, the Damanjei Rorian, who spoke on behalf of the beneficiaries, expressed their appreciation for the kind gesture. He noted that the fertilizer would greatly improve their harvests and ultimately their livelihood, considering the times. He added that the support came at the right time, as they have been grappling with the high cost of fertilizer with low yields.

    Another beneficiary, Sele Tong, had this to say, “To the best of my knowledge this is the 11th year of unceasing massive interventions in the land of kuru and beyond from our father and son, Hon. Gwottson. For this particular fertilizer we count lucky because the Mutfuwang administration had earlier provided subsidized elect fertilizer for us and our son has also step in with 1,000 bags of fertilizer. Were so grateful and we pray that God will bless him abundantly.”

    Notable figures present at the occasion include; Da Prof. Pam & Ngo Chundung Sha, leaders of the 67 hamlets; PDP excos, stakeholders and supporters.

    The occasion was held at GSS Kanadap Kuru on Tuesday, July 9th, 2024.

    In addition to the many recent interventions that Jos wildlife has received which includes the following:

    i. Drilling of 4 boreholes and the provision of surface tanks as water sources throughout the park.

    ii. Provision of motorcycles to ease movement and surveillance.

    iii. Provision of maintenance equipment such as lawn mowers, cultivators, etc.

    iv. Provision of consumables and cleaning agents for the cages to improve the living conditions of the animals.

    v. Provision of kits for game guards and animal attendants.

    vi. Provision of 20 solar street lights to enhance security;

    On Tuesday June 25th 2022, a delegation led by the General Manager, Plateau State Tourism Corporation, Hon. Chuwang Pwajok, went to take possession of a brand-new Toyota Land Cruiser 70 double cabin pick-up truck (Buffalo), for use at Jos wildlife Park, from Plateau State Agro-Climatic Resilience in Semi-Arid Landscapes (ACreSAL).

    Mr. Garba Gonkol, Plateau State Coordinator, ACReSAL, while handing over the vehicle pointed out that during the organisation’s prior interactions with Governor Caleb Mutfwang, he had insisted that ACReSAL should prioritize Jos Wildlife Park in her line up of intervention projects in the state.

    Hon. Chuwang Pwajok, who accepted the vehicle on behalf of the corporation, praised the government and ACReSAL for their timely interventions at the facility, and noted that the unfortunate story of the park’s poor conditions is quickly transforming into a positive situation.

    “The staff of the corporation and indeed the park will bear witness with me that the park has not received such kinds of interventions in the past. With the coming onboard of this administration and ACReSAL, Jos Wildlife Park has not remained the same again,” he said.

    He assured ACReSAL that they would closely monitor the usage of the vehicle to ensure that it is used only for its designated purpose.

    Pwajok subsequently informed journalists that the State Government is presently taking steps to tackle unlawful activities at the Jos Wildlife Park and enhance its security, through collaboration with appropriate security agencies within the state.

    According to him, plans are in top gear for the facility to be surrounded by a 17-kilometer fence.

    Hon. Peter Kanang-Gwom, who is the Plateau State Commissioner for Environment, Climate Change, Mineral Development and also the Chairman of the State Steering Committee (SSC), was responsible for presenting the vehicle to the Corporation.
