ACHIEVEMENTS OF COMRADE NICHOLAS KEMI NSHE AT SHENDAM LOCAL GOVERNMENT IN PICTURES


SHENDAM LOCAL GOVERNMENT AT A GLANCE

Before the 1976 Local Government Reforms, which created Shendam Local Government, it had been for many years the headquarters of the low land Division, which was headed by a Division Officer, (D.O).

Shendam, popularly referred to as the Home of peace and Hospitality, is situated about 155km south of Jos, the headquarters of Plateau State. It covers a land mass of about 2437sq. km and a population of about 208,017 made up of 109,519 males and 97,498 female; as recorded in the 2006 population census. The Local Government Area shares common boundaries with Quaan Pan Local Government Area to the West, Mikang L.G.A. to the North and Langtang South to the East. It also shares boundaries with Ibi Local Government Area of Taraba, and Awe Local Government of Nasarawa State to the South and South West respectively. It is a belt of low lying land and is thickly covered with economy trees. It is traverse by many streams and rivers which could be utilized very effectively for fishing, agriculture and transportation. It has a relatively high and low temperature during the day and the night respectively. The hot and humid weather condition coupled with the general rich soil enhance the growth of food crops such as yams, rice, millet, beans, cassava, etc. Apart from the aforementioned crops, the Local Government Area is also blessed with abundant mineral resources such as salt, gypsum, clay, sand, hard rock, etc, deposited around the following areas Derteng, Jayu, Duam, Japshen, Shargang, Tengzet, Dungoeshing. These mineral resources abound in large quantities waiting to be tapped by potential investors. Tourist attraction centers found in the area include: Npol lake in lukushi Jelbang Rock, Nroam lake, Shendam dam, Doeben, Shargang, Kurwat, Shepwan, Gonvel, Goesa and Ka’anjen ponds.

The area is inhabited by the Goemai whose predominant occupations are farming, fishing, and rearing of livestock. For administrative convenience, the area is divided into four Districts each headed by a District Head: Shendam District headed by Miskoom Leonard Shaiyen, Derteng  District headed by Miskoom Njim Yunkwap, Dokan Tofa is headed by Miskoom James La’ankwap while Dorok District is headed by an acting head Miskoom Pringkwap Maigari. The entire Goemai nation is headed by a first class chief Miskoom Hubert Shaldas II, OON who is also the Deputy Chairman, Plateau State Council of Chiefs. Because of the peaceful and hospitable nature of the Goemai other tribes such as Mupun, Kwalla Berom, Mushere Hausa Fulani, Igbo, Yoruba and a host of other tribes settle peacefully with the Goemai.

According to Horace Mann, “It is well to think; it is divine to act well”. Comrade Nicholas Nshe Kemi, the Executive Chairman of Shendam Local Government Area, has thought and acted well. His landslide achievements, within his short period so far in office, have confirmed Tommy Lasorda’s words that, “The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a man’s determination”. And to better confirm this, the people’s chairman, unlike many of his contemporaries who assumed positions of leadership without a defined vision, Hon. Nshe wrote out his vision, just as the Bible instructed. His vision, reads in part, “A purposeful government determined to deliver the dividends of democracy to its people” come true.
