Plateau State governor, Caleb Muftwang, has held a high-level meeting with former governors and key leaders of the state, focusing on security, unity and long-term stability amid recent attacks in rural communities of the State.

In a post shared on his verified Facebook page on Thursday, Governor Muftwang said he “convened a strategic meeting with distinguished leaders and former Governors of Plateau State on Tuesday at the Government House, Little Rayfield, Jos,” where participants deliberated on “the well-being, welfare, progress, and overall prosperity of the people of Plateau State.”

The governor disclosed that the meeting extensively reviewed the current security situation, particularly the spate of violence affecting communities across the state.

“The high-level engagement critically reviewed the prevailing security situation, particularly the recent violent attacks in rural communities across the state,” he said, noting that discussions were centred on “fostering sustainable peace, strengthening unity, and promoting harmonious coexistence among all residents.”

According to him, the leaders reached a collective resolve to prioritise justice and strengthen institutional responses to the crisis.

“The leaders collectively resolved to pursue justice for all and to establish robust frameworks that reflect the enduring courage, discipline, hospitality and patriotism of the Plateau people within the Nigerian project,” Muftwang stated.

He added that rebuilding trust among communities remained a key focus of the engagement.

“Emphasis was also placed on rebuilding fractured relationships and restoring trust, with the aim of reinforcing Plateau State’s longstanding identity as the Home of Peace and Prosperity,” he stated.
