Reps to submit report of Plateau crisis to President Tinubu for implementation - The Nation Newspaper

The House of Representatives ad hoc committee investigating the crisis in Plateau state has said it will forward the report of its finding to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for implementation after its ratification by the House.

The committee was set up by the House to investigate and organise a stakeholders meeting on the crisis on the Plateau while recommending ways of addressing the long-term violence in the state which has resulted to loss of thousands lives and destruction of properties

Speaking during a visit to the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, as part of the Committee's stakeholders engagement, ‎Chairman of the Committee, Hon. Wale Hammed said the committee would find lasting solutions to the crisis in Plateau State.

‎He said the committee was aware that President Tinubu's administration was working hard to put an end to the cycle of violence and attacks across the country, including Plateau.

He said the committee plans to hold a series of engagements "where ‎every major stakeholder, both individuals, corporate and community people, present their perspective. At the end, we will present our report to the House for approval and subsequently to the President who we know is interested in peace across Nigeria.

He said engagements held so far with stakeholders on the Plateau State crisis had yielded the desired results with stakeholders giving their perspectives to root causes of the crisis and potential solutions.

‎ "Every stakeholder we have met has presented their perspectives and every day we are getting more and more educated, more enlightened on the situation there in Plateau State and we are not stopping here. We have written to over 300 different individuals and organizations.

‎"We have gotten responses, Memoranda have been submitted. If you were there about three weeks ago, the immediate past chairman of Operation Safe Haven was with us at the committee room in the house. ‎ He also presented his own perspective.

"So at the end of the day, we will gather and collate all this and look at recurring decimals, common complaints, common suggested solutions. Something will be, if a hundred people respond, there will be some things that have been repeated among these hundred people. At the end of the day" Hammed said.
