PLATEAU STATE GOVERNMENT TO COLLABORATE WITH PPA ON INFORMATION DISSEMINATION

 

Plateau state Commissioner of Information and Communication Hon. Dan Manjang has said the Ministry will partner with Plateau Publishers Association (PPA) on information dissemination.

Hon Manjang stated this in his office at J.D. Gomwalk Secretariat in Jos, when the officials of the Plateau Publishers Association led by its chairman, Shabul Mazadu, paid him a courtesy called.

Mazadu emphasized the significance and benefits of engaging Plateau Publishers Association on information Dissemination, saying “It must be reiterate that our members own on-line media platforms, newspapers, magazines and other forms of news broadcast with wide circulation to the entire 17 LGA’s of Plateau State and the Nation at-large”

On the advantages and the need for Plateau State Government to patronize the PPA, Mazadu said it is sad that the laudable achievements of Governor Lalong are under reported, this has made some mischief’s’ makers in the state to peddle falsehood and misinformation which to a large extent projected the state in bad light thereby discourages prospective investors from coming to invest in the state.

Mazadu applauded the Plateau State Commissioner of information Hon. Dan Manjang for engaging the PPA on the activities of his ministry.

In his response, Hon. Manjang appreciated the PPA for the visit and promised to partner with the body on information dissemination of government's activities noting that the Lalong led Rescue Administration has achieved a lot both at the state and local government's levels.

He urged the publishers to continue with good work they are doing in supporting the government efforts in tackling the state challenges, saying Plateau State belong to all of us and we have a duty to bequeath a greater Plateau to our children, “our diversity should be our source of strength” he added

Among the PPA officials that visited the Ministry were the Chairman, Shabul Mazadu, Secretary, Daniel Bok, Publicity Secretary, Genius Nanfa, the Treasurer, Mrs. Helen Bok and the Auditor, Orgak Walbe.
