The speech is presented, thus.

1. Fellow people of Qua’an-Pan, one year ago, the QP Project: Endless Possibilities Administration in Qua’an-Pan Local Government, alongside 16 other Local Government Councils in Plateau State were inaugurated. The inauguration marks a further consolidation of on the gains of our democracy as it opened up new chapters in the practice of Democratic governance through the demonstration of selfless, people-oriented and collective drive towards socio-cultural and economic transformation.

2. I congratulate all of us for the journey so far and for our achievements in the last year and for our determination to take our Local Government Area,  our people of Plateau State and  our country Nigeria to greater heights.

3. I am grateful in many ways to my cabinet members, the Legislative arm, the traditional council, the Directors, the wonderful staff, governmental and non-governmental (civil and military) agencies for their patriotism and the courage they have so far demonstrated in making Qua’an-Pan Local Government Area a true bastion of democratic experience.

4. Every administration has its peculiar challenges but the task we set for ourselves and our people is to reflect and appreciate these challenges with the view to turn them around positivity to better the lots of our people.

5. With this, the QP Project: Endless Possibilities Administration under my watch has, in the last year made strides and re-ignited the hope of our citizens that democratic government truly empowers the people with the capacity to deliver real benefits and give them better quality of life. 

6. As stated earlier, each administration has its challenges, and some of the challenges we faced on assumption of office were the dearths in finance and the high degree of insecurity, which left the entire LGA in sleepless panic

7. Undeterred by these challenges and with the determination and cooperation of the workforce and the citizens, we set for ourselves targets and timelines to change the narrative in order to maximize our potentials and give our people hope to engage in fruitful activities under a peaceful environment.

8. Today, we can say that by encouraging collective participation based on shared prosperity, transparent and participatory governance, we have been able to surmount some of our challenges; and provided respite and dividends of democracy within our limited available resources.

9.  May I, at this juncture reflect and put on record some of the achievements of the QP Project: Endless Possibilities administration in Qua’an-Pan Local Government Council under my leadership in the past one year.

10. SECURITY
i. You are aware that security plays an important role in the life of any society. Without security, nothing can work. A stable security environment creates room for peaceful coexistence and enhances economic growth and development. On assumption of office, we were faced with series of security challenges. 
ii. In order to curb the situation, the Council partnered with the various security agencies and outfits within and outside of LGA, and provided assistance to them.
iii. These partnership saw the maximization of the services of the Army, Police and other recognized outfits, like The Vigilante, Community Police,  Neighborhood Watch, etc., which today have reduced the level of crimes, criminalities and criminal activities in the Local Government.
iv. Our partnership also gave birth to the establishment of an additional Divisional Police Office in the LGA, with the full status of the office, located in Namu. I am glad to inform you that the Local Government will soon hand over the completed fully fortified office structure to the Police.
v. When fully operational, the station will boost our efforts at minimizing security breaches and or challenges within the Local Government Area and it's environs to the barest minimum.
vi. We have also been responding promptly and regularly to other security challenges, once we get wind of them, especially around Namu District.
 vii. I commend all the security agencies for their cooperation in this fight and I encourage them to remain dogged in our drive towards the sustenance of a peaceful and secured LGA. I want to assure them of our continued support in their drives toward meeting their respective mandates.
