Igbos own 70% of Plateau’s new Certificates Of Occupancy – Governor Lalong

The Plateau State Governor Simon Bako Lalong, has commended the Igbo community that paid him a visit at the Government House.

He said that over 70 percent of the certificates of occupancy he signed since he assumed office belong to Igbos in the State.

“I had to call the Commissioner for Land to ask him why it was so and to find out if the indigenous population had quit the state for the Igbo” Lalong said.

The Governor also appreciated the Igbo community for boosting and stabilizing the state’s economy and assured them of his commitment to ensure that no Igbo or any ethnic group in the state was molested or marginalized.
