FG to rebuild displaced Plateau communities, deploy 1,000 forest guards, Tinubu says

President Bola Tinubu has said the Federal Government will rebuild communities affected by violence in Plateau State and facilitate the return of displaced residents to their ancestral homes.

Tinubu gave the assurance on Saturday at the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential rally in Jos, where he also disclosed that 1,000 forest guards were undergoing training to strengthen security across the country.

The President said his administration was committed to restoring peace in affected communities and ensuring that displaced residents could return to their homes and live in safety.

“I assure those displaced that we will rebuild your communities and bring you back,” he said.

Tinubu said he had directed all security agencies to take decisive action to sustain peace in the state.

“One thousand forest guards are undergoing training. You will feel secure in your villages and communities. Surveillance cameras are being procured as I am speaking,” he said.

He added that the government was working to rebuild affected communities and provide the necessary support for displaced residents to return and settle comfortably.

The President expressed sympathy with families who had lost loved ones and residents whose homes had been destroyed by years of violence in the state.

He recalled that crises in Plateau since 2001 had resulted in the loss of lives, destruction of homes and displacement of communities.

“To every bereaved family, homes destroyed, every survivor, and everyone unable to return home, I offer my heartfelt condolences for your loss and pray that only God will console you,” he said.
