The Plateau State Chairman of PLASIEC, Plangji Daniel Cishak, disclosed this yesterday, while addressing Journalists at the press briefing, held at the PLASIEC headquarters Jos, the State capital.
He commended Journalists on the Plateau for their collective efforts that had consistently helped in informing, educating, and shaping public opinion in reinforcing democratic values and building public confidence in electoral processes.
“As we now look forward to another event of national significance, we are once again counting on you to rise to the moment with the highest standards of journalistic integrity. I am confident that you will not fail us.
“It is with great pleasure that I officially announce that, Plateau State will host the 13th National Delegates Conference of the Forum of Independent Electoral Commissions of Nigeria (FOSIECON).

He said, they were expecting no fewer than 304 delegates drawn from the 36 states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory with Chairmen,
