Ugar Ukandi Odey, Jos
The Executive Chairman of Langtang North local government council, Honourable Joshua Ubangdoma has disclosed that the internal revenue generating potential of the Council has improved tremendously under his tenure.
Honourable Ubangdoma said he inherited poor internally generated revenue profile, and had to sit up and overhaul the system for strategy, efficiency, and higher productivity knowing that the monthly allocation from the federation account is paltry and cannot meet the development aspirations of the people.
The Executive Chairman observed that the new approach to revenue generation by the council has shown a significant improvement from what it used to be, and this has helped to augment what gets to the council monthly after all statutory deduction from the federal allocations.
Reflecting on Nigeria at 60, Honourable Ubangdoma commended Nigerians for coming this far, and specially saluted President Muhammadu Buhari as the President and Commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and the Executive Governor of Plateau State, Dr. Simon Bako Lalong.
Ubangdoma commended the President for the manner he steers the ship of State, particularly his dogged commitment to the fight against insecurity and his anti-corruption stand which has improved the global perception and rating of the country among the comity of nations.
Similarly, the Chairman also noted that the administration of Governor Simon Lalong in Plateau State has been fair and tolerant in its politics and style governance, and this is evidenced in swearing in an opposition party candidate as local government chairman after tribunal and Court affirmation of his electoral victory, and currently in the distribution of palliatives across the State.
He noted that as the Executive Chairman of Langtang North he has recorded uncommon successes in terms of development projects and Human capacity building, he also expressed the hope that his administration’s first anniversary this month would be memorable mainly for its landmark effects.
Honourable Ubangdoma who was the first Local Government Chairman to fumigate the Council area to foreclose the menance of Covid-19 said the success story of his administration so far is the outcome of focus, prudence, and the cooperation of the staff and good people of Langtang North local government area.
