President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has assured displaced residents of Plateau State that the Federal Government will rebuild communities affected by violence and facilitate their safe return home.
Tinubu gave the assurance on Saturday during the APC presidential campaign rally at Zaria Road Stadium in Jos, where he acknowledged the devastation caused by insecurity in parts of the state.
Recalling his previous visit to Plateau, the President said he was restricted to the airport and could not visit communities in the hinterland.
“The last time I visited Plateau State, I was limited to the airport. Forgive me if you didn’t see me in the hinterland, but I saw the devastation, got the report from the governor, and saw the horror on the faces of our people,” he said.
He added that the situation had since changed, assuring displaced persons that his administration would support the rebuilding of their communities and enable them to return.
“But since then, that has changed; we are forging ahead together. I assure those who are displaced that we will rebuild your communities and bring you back there,” Tinubu stated.
The President said his administration was committed to restoring peace in affected communities and ensuring residents could return to their homes without fear.
On security measures, Tinubu disclosed that 1,000 forest guards were undergoing training, while surveillance cameras were being procured to strengthen security operations.
His assurances come amid persistent security challenges and displacement in parts of Plateau State, where affected communities continue to face the challenge of rebuilding lives and restoring livelihoods.
