Speaker Jatau seeks good working relationship between arms of govt
The speaker of the Nasarawa House of Assembly, Danladi Jatau, has called for a good working relationship between the executive and legislative arms of the state for development to thrive at the grassroots level.
The speaker made the call on Wednesday while hosting councillors from the 13 local government areas of the state in his residence in Lafia.
Mr Jatau said that a good working relationship among the arms of government at the council level was key to development, hence the need for his call in that direction.
He appreciated the councillors for condoling with him over the death of his younger sister, Hajaratu Jatau, and prayed to God to bless them abundantly.
”I started as a councillor, and today I am the speaker. There is the need for a good working relationship between you and the elected chairmen for development to thrive at the grassroots. It is in view of this that I want to call on you to give your elected chairmen all the necessary and needed support to succeed. For development to thrive at the grassroots, you must embrace one another and see yourselves as team players,” the speaker said.
Mr Jatau also called on them to coexist peacefully among themselves and continue to drum up support for Governor Abdullahi Sule’s administration to succeed.
Besides, he assured them that the state government would soon organise training for them to deliver effective service.
Mr Jatau also assured them that the state government would pay them their furniture allowance, as well as other benefits, to enhance their legislative work.
Earlier, the chairman of the Nasarawa State Councillors Forum, Mohammed Madaki, who is the speaker of Lafia LGA, said that the visit was to identify with the speaker over the death of his sister.
The leader of the delegation urged the speaker to see the death of his sister as an act of God and bear the irreplaceable loss.
Mr Madaki assured the speaker of their loyalty and support at all times.
The chairman, however, appealed to the speaker to intervene in the training of the councillors as well as the payment of their furniture allowance.
