The Plateau State Governor, Simon Lalong has urged the Chief Judge of the state to sustain justice and rule of law.
The governor said this in Jos on Monday in a statement made available to media and signed by Makut Macham, the Director of Press and Public Affairs to the Governor.
Lalong said this during the Special Thanksgiving Service in honour of the Chief Judge, Justice David Mann, and urged him to continue to reform the Judiciary to further deepen the rule of law and justice delivery to all.
He said the appointment of the Chief Judge which was a devine order, carried along heavy burden to ensure that humanity existed in harmony and under order and tranquility.
Lalong commended him for serving the people without fear or favour and in line with his oath of office and dictates of his calling.
Lalong also prayed God to continue to give the Chief Judge the grace to fulfill his responsibilities to the best of his abilities and for the good of the citizens.
In a Sermon, Rev. Luka Damilep dwelt on the supremacy of Christ where he said God bestowed upon him every power and authority to redeem mankind so that his purpose would be fulfilled on earth.
The Pastor appreciated the Chief Judge for being closer to God even now than when he had not attained the status of the Chief Judge.
He called on members of the Judiciary to emulate the posture of the Chief Judge by submitting to the Authority of God at all times and positions they found themselves.
Lead Pastor of the Church, Rev. Chuwang Gyang, on behalf of COCIN President, appreciated the Chief Judge of Plateau for not allowing his position to take him away from the presence of God.
He commended him for also contributing to the growth of the Church and participation in the spiritual and physical rejuvenation of members.
The chief judge thanked God for the grace given him to rise to the rank in a journey that started way back in 1983 as a Magistrate.
He appreciated the governor, speaker and all other Nigerians that have contributed to his professional growth and have supported him to discharge his duties with fairness and justice.
