Former Plateau CAN Chairman Reverend Lubo Laid to Rest
Former Plateau State Governor Simon Bako Lalong paid his final respects to late Reverend Lubo, former Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in Plateau State, during burial ceremonies this week.
Lalong, who currently serves as Senator representing Plateau South Senatorial District, joined mourners to honor the deceased religious leader. The former governor’s attendance highlighted the significant role Reverend Lubo played in Plateau State’s Christian community and interfaith relations.
Reverend Lubo led CAN’s Plateau chapter during a critical period in the state’s history.

Under his leadership, the association navigated complex religious and political challenges in Plateau State.
The burial ceremony brought together political leaders, religious figures, and community members. Attendees celebrated Reverend Lubo’s contributions to peace-building efforts and his work promoting religious harmony in the region.
Plateau State has experienced periodic religious and ethnic tensions over the years. Religious leaders like Reverend Lubo played crucial roles in fostering dialogue between different faith communities. His death represents a significant loss for the state’s Christian leadership.
Senator Lalong’s participation in the funeral underscores the continued importance of political-religious cooperation in addressing Plateau State’s challenges. The ceremony marked the end of Reverend Lubo’s influential tenure in Christian leadership across the state.
