Nasarawa state Governor Assures Elections will Hold in Areas affected by Insurgency
The Nasarawa State Governor, Tanko Al-Makura, has vowed that the general elections will take place in the communities of internally displaced persons.
Governor Al-Makura said this while distributing relief materials through traditional rulers to over 100 communities affected by insurgency, disclosing that his government would ensure the general elections takes place in the communities.
He said: “To stem the tide of the recurrent crises in the state, government took far-reaching measures, including the vigorous pursuance of this administration’s innovative Community-Based Conflict Resolution initiative to resolve communal misunderstandings and disagreements for sustainable peace and socio-economic development of the State.
”It is heart-warming that these measures have been a catalyst to the restoration of normalcy in the affected communities and, indeed, the State as a whole. These unfortunate incidences were tragic, avoidable and a setback to the development endeavours of this Administration.”
Almakura added that to ensure safety and more security measures, the state government has created ten additional security centres across the troubled communities urging the people of the state to continue to sustain peace and harmonious co-existence.
“I urge you to be active participants in our community-based conflict resolution and endeavour for the settlement of all misunderstandings and local disagreements in the state.”
