Governor Simon Lalong of Plateau on Monday
met President Muhammadu Buhari over the
recent suspension of the Comptroller General of
the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Mr David
Parradang.
Parradang was on Friday directed to immediately
proceed on suspension while the service’s deputy
comptroller general, Martin Abeshi, takes over.
Paradang, who was sighted in the Presidential
Villa in company of the governor, was on Friday
directed to immediately proceed on suspension.
The Deputy Comptroller General of Immigration,
Mr Martin Abeshi, was directed to take over the
mantle of leadership of the NIS on acting
capacity.
Lalong, who briefed State House correspondents
after a closed door meeting with Buhari, said that
although investigations into the issues that led to
the suspension of the Immigration boss had
commenced, it was necessary for him to show
concern.
“I came to see the President on some issues
affecting my state.
“These include the prevailing issue of the
suspension of the comptroller of general of
immigration who incidentally is from my state.
When you have issues like this in a political
period, you must find ways of looking for
reasons and possible solution.
“If anything affects any part of your body you
must show concern.
“Paradang’s case is still under investigation. A
man was suspended and he is from Plateau, it is
my concern because I am the governor of the
state.
“For every appointment, we must show concern
no matter how small. The President is handling
it.
“At the end of the day whatever is the outcome I
will agree with it, but I also need to get some
explanation as the governor of the state.
“I feel comfortable with the response I got and
that is why I am smiling. I told him what we are
doing on insecurity in our state.”
On insecurity in the state, the governor said that
he set up a 13-man peace committee to address
the problem of communal crises across the state.
He said that the measures put in place by the
state government to arrest social unrest in the
Plateau had started yielding results as trouble
makers were being apprehended by relevant
security agencies in the state.
“We still have cases of cattle rustling and farm
destruction going on in the southern part.
“But, in the last one week, we have taken very
good measures and security agencies are working
very well in terms of arrest,” he said.
