Lalong Swears in 7 New Commissioners, Redeploys 3
POLITICS DIGEST- Less than eight months to the end of his administration, Plateau State Governor, Simon Lalong, on Tuesday swore in seven new commissioners in the state.
The governor also carried out a minor cabinet reshuffle which saw three commissioners moved to other ministries.
Lalong, who performed the swearing-in ceremony at the New Government House, Little Rayfield, Jos, said the appointment of the new commissioners became necessary to replace those who resigned from his cabinet to pursue their political careers.
