Gov. Simon Lalong of Plateau has congratulated the Archbishop of the Catholic Archdiocese of Jos, Rev Dr Matthew Audu, on his 61st birthday.
In a congratulatory message issued on Monday in Jos by his Director of Press and Public Affairs, Dr Makut Macham, the governor described the archbishop as an epitome of humility, selflessness and godliness.
“His Grace is a man that is well-loved for many reasons. He stands for truth and justice and always speaks for the poor while reaching out to them at every available opportunity.
“He continues to inspire us all with the word of God and also living an exemplary life,” he said.
He wished the archbishop God’s protection and good health, saying Plateau people, particularly Catholics, were happy to have him in the state as the Archbishop that succeeded Archbishop Ignatius Kaigama earlier in the year.
In a similar development, Lalong also congratulated Justice Monica Dongban-Mensem, acting President, Court of Appeal, over her nomination by President Muhammadu Buhari to the Senate for confirmation as substantive President, Court of Appeal.
Lalong had, on Sunday, during the thanksgiving service to mark the 2020 Democracy Day and his 5th year in office, asked Plateau people to pray for her confirmation.
He appreciated the President for the gesture and expressed optimism that with her pedigree, she was going to make the nation, Plateau state, her family and the judiciary proud.
The governor said that she would do so by upholding the tenets of justice, truth and integrity.
