Plateau state governor,
Simon Lalong has declared the 3rd of February every year as Plateau Prayer Day.
The governor made the
declaration at a special prayer and fasting service to commemorate forty years
of existence of Plateau state.
The governor said while
other states created on the same day with Plateau state in 1976 chose to have
an elaborate celebration, the state choose to seek the face of God in a place
of prayer and thanksgiving.
Guest speaker and
Chaplain Plateau state government house Reverend Father David Ajang said the
number forty is significant as it marks a peroid of testing, trial and
probation. He urged the people of the state to unite and achieve greatness.
The event also featured
scriptural reading taken by the deputy governor of Plateau state Professor
Sonni Tyoden, Secretary to the State government Rufus Bature as well as the
wife of the governor, Regina Lalong among others.
Special prayers were
offered for Plateau state just as speakers after speakers including the speaker
of the Plateau state House of Assembly Peter Azi gave reasons to be thankful to
God.
