Plateau State Will Not Negotiate with Terrorists, Says Mutfwang

On June 12, during a democracy day celebration, Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang announced that his administration will not negotiate with terrorists, reaffirming a commitment to safeguard the lives and properties of residents. Mutfwang stated that any belief that violence would lead to negotiations with the government is mistaken.

He emphasized the importance of engaging citizens through lawful democratic channels and highlighted the administration's response to recent security challenges in Southern Plateau, including increased collaboration with security agencies. The governor mentioned the establishment of a security architecture following presidential approval and the investment in technology to enhance safety across communities.

Additionally, he noted the administration's efforts to improve revenue generation, targeting an increase from N1 billion to N10 billion monthly, and the prompt payment of salaries and pensions. The event also marked the launch of a citizen engagement platform aimed at strengthening the relationship between the government and the people.
