Plateau State House of Assembly Leadership
[edit | edit source]Under the leadership of Dewan, important bills such as the Plateau State Electricity Bill, Plateau State Minimum Wage were passed and signed into law by the Executive.[7]
Amidst heightened political tension regarding the swearing-in of 16 opposition lawmakers affirmed by the Court of Appeal, Dewan inaugurated 9 lawmakers stating that the rest didn't meet requirements to be inaugurated.[8]
Empowerment
[edit | edit source]Dewan has gained popularity in his constituency and beyond for giving out donations to student's groups, indigent constituents.[9][10] While it can be disputed, a narrative emanating from his political adversaries has emerged interpreting his donations as an attempt to warm his way into the hearts of the electorates ahead of future elections.
