Plateau state Governor, Simon Lalong, says his state will continue to remain peaceful and not a war zone as being suggested by some mischievous narrations.
Governor Lalong, who said this during the opening ceremony of the FCT Minister’s Press Corps Media Retreat in Jos, noted that his administration was working to route out all criminal elements in whatever guise across the state.

The Governor says the perversed narrations suggesting that Plateau was at war and therefore unsafe, was a cheap blackmail by enemies of peaceful co-existence.
Also speaking, the Chairman of the FCT Minister’s Press Corps, Ikharo Attah, said observation has shown that security challenges in Plateau have been largely over- exergerated.
Attah noted that the choice of Jos as host of the retreat was informed by the desire to help form broader views on issues of development in the state and provide better media perspectives that will further strengthen national unity and peaceful co-existence.
