In his continuing efforts to enhance the security of lives and promote peaceful coexistence in Plateau State, Governor Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang has convened an expanded meeting with critical stakeholders in the Jos and Bukuru metropolis.

The meeting is coming at the heels of the national protests and the curfew imposed on Jos-Bukuru metropolis.

Addressing the stakeholders at the Old Government House Rayfield, Governor Mutfwang expressed his strong conviction that a new Plateau, premised on peace, unity, and prosperity, is achievable.

He urged all stakeholders to put aside their differences and embrace one another to build a progressive and united Plateau, which will be the envy of all, despite the state’s diversity.

“It is possible for us to build a new Plateau. We must put aside our differences and embrace each other to create a conducive working atmosphere to grow our economy. It is my desire that we should have a common understanding.

‘We must collectively work to build Jos because when Jos is peaceful, the entire Plateau will be peaceful. We are trusting God that the glorious days when people came to Jos for holidays and commercial activities will return,” he stated.

Hon. Adamu Aliyu, Member representing Jos North-North Constituency in the Plateau State House of Assembly, appreciated the Governor for convening the meeting, describing him as a leader who desires the peace and progress of his people.

He called on the people to support the administration of Governor Mutfwang to build enduring peace in Plateau State.

The Chairman of Jama’atu Nasril Islam and the Emir of Wase, Alh. Muhammadu Sambo Haruna, applauded the Governor for taking proactive steps to restore peace and normalcy in the State.

He condemned the actions of the criminal elements determined to throw the state into turmoil, describing their actions as criminal, broad daylight robbery, and unacceptable.

Among the top dignitaries who attended the meeting were the Deputy Speaker of Plateau State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Madaki Ajiji; Secretary to the Government of the State, Arc. Samuel Jatau; the Chief of Staff, Hon. Jeremiah Satmark, Senator Napoleon Bali, Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice Barr.
