President Bola Tinubu has promised to rebuild communities devastated by years of violence in Plateau State and return thousands of internally displaced persons (IDPs) to their ancestral homes.
Tinubu made the promise on Saturday at the All Progressives Congress (APC) North-Central rally in Jos, where he acknowledged the devastating impact of recurring attacks on communities across the state since 2001.
The president said his administration would work with Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang, APC National Chairman Nentawe Yilwatda and other political leaders to restore affected communities and facilitate the return of displaced residents.
“Since 2001, crisis attacks have inflicted deep wounds on Plateau. Too many lives have been lost, homes destroyed, communities displaced,” Mr Tinubu said.
He offered condolences to families who had lost relatives, survivors of attacks and residents who remained unable to return to their homes.
“I assure those displaced that we will rebuild your communities. We will rebuild your communities, and we will bring you back to your communities,” he said.
Tinubu said he had directed security agencies to take decisive action to sustain peace and stability in Plateau, adding that his administration was strengthening security deployment and rapid-response mechanisms.
