The governor of Plateau State, Caleb Mutfwang, had a meeting with past governors of the state to discuss the growing problems with safety in some areas.

Former governor Fidelis Tapgun told the media on Thursday that the talks went well.

The meeting took place on Tuesday at the Rayfield Government House in Jos. They talked about recent attacks in village areas and what can be done to bring back peace.

People who were there included former governors Fidelis Tapgun, Joshua Dariye, Jonah Jang, Simon Lalong, and one more former governor.

“Yes, we had a meeting with Governor Mutfwang. Other former governors were present, and we had fruitful discussion,” Tapgun said.

Tapgun, however, declined to give further details and referred our correspondent to a Facebook post by the governor.

In the post, Mutfwang said the meeting focused on security, welfare and development issues in the state.

The governor wrote, “The meeting deliberated extensively on matters concerning the well-being, welfare, progress, and overall prosperity of the people of Plateau State.

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

“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.”

Mutfwang added that the meeting also emphasised rebuilding trust and restoring Plateau’s identity as the “Home of Peace and Prosperity.”

Plateau State has witnessed recurring attacks in rural communities in recent months, prompting calls for coordinated security responses.
