DAYYABU GARGA DIRECTS APPOINTEES TO COLLABORATE WITH ELECTED OFFICERS,ENSURE A SUCCESSFUL VOTER REGISTRATION.

In other to keep to the directive of his The Excellency Governor, Simon Bako Lalong declaring monday and tuesday next week as work free days in Plateau State,Executive Chairman of Kanam Local Government Council,,Dayyabu Yusuf Garga has directed all appointees of the LGA to move down to the grassroots and mobilize unregistered voters so as to have a smooth exercise.

He has further directed them to work in close synergy with elected and other stakeholders to ensure people are educated and mobilized on the need to have their permanent voters cards as the next general elections approaches.

Thus he has also directed staff of the Local Government Council to utilize the period granted by Government to register or ensure they are up to date with their registrations by addressing any other issue they have with their PVCs as that will guarantee their participation in choosing leaders tomorrow.

According to the Council Chairman "We cannot allow this opportunity to slip off our hands as His Excellency The Governor has harkened to the cry of electorates in the State by granting this request,Kanam is one LGA that from reports still has quite a number of people that have not registered,have reached voting age or have one or two issues to rectify in respect of their PVS as such we are working closely with INEC to see that the exercise is successful in Kanam.I will keep a close look and create the enabling environment for the agency to attend to our people seamlessly".

He added that he will personally lead a team that will supervise the event within the two days specified by Government.

He called on religious and traditional leaders to further educate their subjects to cash in on this opportunity and get registered as it is also a civic duty towards entrenching good governance in our society.

Dayyabu Garga called for mass sensitization to citizens of Kanam to know that the exercise is not a fresh registration rather a continuous one for those who had never been registered or those who may have issues with their registration processes warning that double registration will be detected by the machines and such person's votes rejected by the machines during voting.

He then warned staff that the authority will not condone those who would not take advantage of this window period but only to begin exempting themselves from work under the guise of going to get registered saying such acts will not go without appropriate sanctions.
