Plateau State Governor Simon Bako Lalong has assured the people of Nigeria that the current challenges facing the nation will be overcomed when Nigerians pray and resolve to remove all obstacles to peaceful coexistence.

Governor Lalong stated this during the monthly prayer and fasting session held at the Government House Chapel, Rayfield Jos.

Lalong acknowledged that Nigeria is facing challenges of insecurity, unemployment illiteracy among other issues begging for answers.

Acccording to him, said there is no need to despair because tough times do not last forever.

Lalong added that his experience as Governor of Plateau State in the past six years has proved that it is possible to turn around a bad situation to a better one when there is purposeful leadership that mobilises people across different the divides.

He said “when we took over, there was so much agony and despondency because of crises and other suspicious interactions. We have so far done our best to restore peace but some crises merchants are bent on taking us back. We will never allow them because our prayer and commitments will defeat these evil people who thrive in creating chaos.

Lalong attributed the recent attacks in Dong and Kwi in Jos North and Riyom were regrettable.

Lalong said they are on the trail of these killers and urged the citizens to pray and also be vigilant to give the Government information about criminals so that they can deal with them.

Chaplain of the Government House Chapel Rev. Monsignor David Ajang who is the Bishop-elect for Lafia, said the hope of the world is found in the Lord and people cannot work on the basis of their flesh.

He said dependence on God is always profitable as it guarantees victory over every difficult circumstance such as the one that Nigeria is going through.

He also announced that he was having his last assignment in the Chapel as he will soon be resuming office as the Bishop of Lafia Diocese.
