Governor of Plateau State, Caleb Mutfwang
JOS, Nigeria – Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang has pledged to implement the findings of a fact-finding committee that investigated years of violent attacks across the state.
Speaking with the Guild of Editors at Government House Jos on Thursday, Mutfwang said the received report would not “gather dust” but serve as a roadmap to restore peace.
The report committee, chaired by retired Major General Nicholas Rogers, revealed that between 2001 and May 2025, 420 communities were attacked across 13 local councils, leaving at least 11,749 people dead. Rogers described the findings as “sobering,” noting that the true toll may be higher.
Mutfwang promised to share the document with President Bola Tinubu and security agencies. “We must be on the same page in tackling this crisis,” he said.
He also identified illegal mining and land grabbing as factors fuelling insecurity.
Earlier, Guild of Editors President, Eze Anaba praised the governor’s peace efforts despite persistent challenges.
Lawmaker Wale Ahmed called for inclusive dialogue to address root causes of violence.
Former Governor, Joshua Dariye described the conflict as complex but urged stakeholders to work together. “This touches the core existence of our people. We must seek lasting peace,” he said.
The governor vowed to implement recommendations, serialise findings for transparency, and involve federal authorities in long-term solutions.
