Gov. Mutfwang Of Plateau Calls For Collaborative Efforts To Halt Insecurity In Nigeria

In order to address the current security concerns in some regions of Nigeria, Plateau State Governor Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang has emphasised the significance of fortifying the strategic relationship between the United States and Nigeria.

At a discussion on peace and security in Nigeria held at the US Institute of Peace, Governor Mutfwang, one of a delegation of Nigerian governors, gave a speech.

He commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his practical leadership style, political will in confronting the inherited security difficulties, and call on citizens and security services to intensify their efforts in carrying out their constitutional responsibilities.

With the theme “Drivers of Insecurity and Opportunities for Stabilisation,” the symposium seeks to both identify short-term opportunities for tackling instability and enhance awareness of the security situation, particularly its socio-economic components.

Governor Mutfwang expressed gratitude to the US government, in particular the US Institute of Peace, for its support of stabilisation through a range of interventions, notably those that aimed to increase the ability of peace players by means of the Nigerian Network of Facilitators.

He voiced hope that the knowledge gained would help solve long-standing security issues in Nigeria, especially in Plateau State.

In his introductory remarks, Dr. Joseph Sany, Vice President of the Africa Centre at the US Institute of Peace, thanked the Nigerian governors for attending the symposium and encouraged them to implement the lessons they had learnt in their own States.

Senator Uba Sani (Kaduna), Alhaji Abba Yusuf (Kano), Alh Nasir Idris (Kebbi), Alh. Umar Namadi (Jigawa), Alh Dauda Lawal (Zamfara), Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia (Benue), Hon. Mohammed Bago (Niger), and the deputy governor of Sokoto State were among the other governors in attendance at the debate.
