Mangu (Plateau state), March 18, 2020 (NAN) Mr Lawrence Danat, Chairman, Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau has charged citizens to work  hard and get committed  to the development of the area.

The Chairman gave the charge on Wednesday in Mangu,  while receiving  an award from a publishing firm- Royal Publicity Publishers Company at  the legislative chamber of the council.

News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the publishing company conferred on the chairman the “Best Council Chairman in Infrastructure Development in Plateau State.”

Danat maintained that the task of development required the contribution of all citizens through hard work and sacrifice.

“Although times are hard, we can transform this Local Government through hard work, dedication and commitment to whatever we are doing.

“The award conferred on me today is a confirmation of prudent management of the council’s lean resources in line with the zero tolerance to corruption policy of the APC government at all levels,” he said.

Danat, who dedicated the award to the people of Mangu LGA for their support to his administration, thanked the legislative arm and other stakeholders for their cooperation in piloting the affairs of the area.

He expressed optimism that Mangu Local Government  would experience more infrastructure development before his tenure ends.

Earlier, Mohamed Bilal, leader of the organisation based in Abuja presented the award to the chairman.

Bilal explained that the award was the organisation’s way of challenging public office holders to serve their people better.

He said that the award was a result of a thorough research by a Research Team on the performance of council chairmen in Plateau State, saying the team “discovered that Mangu LGC performed best in projects execution.” (NAN)
