Plateau State Forms Committee to Address Security Issues

On Tuesday, Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State inaugurated a high-powered subcommittee to harmonize security issues raised during a recent interaction with President Bola Tinubu. This meeting, which took place at the State House in Abuja, aimed to address nearly 30 years of cyclical violence in the state.

President Tinubu had previously approved a 2 billion naira relief fund for victims of the Angwan Rukuba attack. The newly formed committee, chaired by former Governor Joshua Dariye, includes notable members such as former Minister Paulin Tallen and various religious leaders.

The committee's mandate is to articulate a coordinated framework for future engagements with relevant federal government agencies, identify priority areas for federal intervention, and recommend strategic measures to promote peace, unity, and sustainable development. The committee is expected to submit a detailed report within seven days of its inauguration, as emphasized by Governor Mutfwang.
