The immediate past Director - General and Chief Executive (CE) of the Industrial Training fund, ITF and the Kurnajam of Gamai Nation, Sir Joseph N. Ari, KSM, KSS, OON, has congratulated the Long Bwall, HRH Miskagam Jerome Leklat, on his election as the new Long Pan of Pan Chiefdom in Qua'an-Pan Local Government Area, LGA, of Plateau State.

Sir Ari in his Congratulatory message to the newly elected Long Pan, commended the Plateau State Government for providing and ensuring that the election process was done under a peaceful and cordial environment.

"I commend the Plateau State Government for putting in place the necessary mechanisms and seamless process that led to the peaceful conduct and the selection of the new Long Pan," Sir Ari said, and applauded the Electoral Committee for the smooth conduct of the exercise devoid of any ill will or rancor.

Sir Ari hoped  that with the occupation of the Long Pan stool  after the demise of the immediate past occupant HRH Emmanuel Dabang, the new Long Pan will follow in the footsteps of his predecessor, especially in ensuring peaceful coexistence among his people and their neighbors.

Sir Ari, a Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), said that given the experience and antecedents of Miskagam Jerome Leklat, while he held sway as the Long Bwall, he has no doubt that Pan Chiefdom under his leadership will experience exponential growth and prosperity.

The former Director- General and Chief Executive of the Industrial Training Fund, ITF, prayed for a long and peaceful reign for the new Long Pan, and assured him of working collaboratively to achieve the collective peace, progress and prosperity of Qua'an-Pan Local Government Area.
