The NCPC boss who was one of the Special Guests of Honour at the event said he was happy to see that Plateau State was gradually retuning back to its peaceful days. In the words of the NCPC boss,” We must forget the urgly incident of the past”. He added, ” today, a new dawn has just begun in the city of Jos”.

He told the teeming Muslim community that COVID19 pandemic is real but God had been able to mitigate it in Nigeria hence the impact of the Virus is less compared to other countries.
He posited that it was because of the prayers of the people that God stopped the global pandemic from killing us massively.

The Ambassador of peace affirmed that there was no alternative to peace; stating that we cannot talk of peace without justice.
