Following the controversies that trailed the deal by the Plateau State Government and an Islamic bank to rebuild Jos Main Market, Governor Simon Lalong has warned politicians from using economic initiatives as a campaign weapon which has the danger of scaring away investors from putting their money in the state.
Lalong, who as at the foundation laying and unveiling of the Palm Estate in Dwei, Du District of Jos South Local Government Area being developed by Odigbo Properties Ltd, described the initiative as one of the benefits of restored peace and stability in the state On the Jos market, he said, “Let me make it abundantly clear that the Jos Main Market will forever remain the property of the Plateau State Government managed by the Jos Main Market Authority while the 40 year lease is for individuals that will buy the shops and not Jaiz Bank. I appeal to our people not to pay attention to the propaganda and political exaggerations being peddled that the market will be sold out to an Islamic bank.
The market is going to be run as a business and nothing else. I plead with our citizens not to make utterances or take actions that will scare away investors from coming into the state particularly at the time when we are gradually rebuilding the economy. Even though we are at a political period, let us always separate politics from governance as Plateau State is greater than our individual ambitions.
I wish this project can be diverted to Kano 🙏🏼
Let them keep chasing investors away. Na who go pay for am?
Embracing anything 'Islamic' championed by the fool-ani anywhere is the beginning of your downfall. Avoid it and prosper.
