“Plateau State has a lot of potentials in agriculture, tourism, education, Information Technology, Engineering and so on. It is sad however that these treasures have been and still remain a dream which seems so far to be achieved.
In the course of the days and months, I will urge all to contribute to my quest to better the State of The Plateau. It is not about me, but about us. It is not a contest, but a collaboration. I cant solve any problem without hearing from you or else there won’t be any coherence in the solutions I will proffer. I would like you to help me by pointing out any issues that you feel needs attention and also ask how I intend to resolve it. I will also be glad if your questions are not just a test but a genuine desire to make the state better.
Over the years, I have had experiences both from home and abroad on various solutions to problems that affect us as a people. I have training in Conflict, Security and Development which is very beneficial to the state in its trying moments of today. I will work hard to ensure a positive resolution of conflicts in the state that is transformative to development in many areas.”
