By Godwin Kingsley The Senator representing Plateau North at the National Assembly, Gyang Nyam Pwajok has called for concerted efforts in tackling the present security challenges facing the state and the nation at large.
The lawmaker made the call at Riyom Local Government Area on Friday when he visited the chairperson Mrs. Josephine Piyo, to sympathize with her over the recent lost of the Gwom Rwei Riyom, Da Dung Jok and his son Col. David Dungs.
Pwajok postulated that guaranteeing sustainable security for all would require the full engagement of governments and the general public, noting that no single individual or agency could lay claim to solutions to the myriad of problems affecting the country.
“We must adopt comprehensive approached to overcome the constant attacks on innocent lives by trained militants, by assisting the security agencies to identify their source of mobilisation and source of funding”, he said.
The senator who also expressed sadness over last week’s attack on Shonong village by Fulani militants which led to loss of lives and wanton destruction of properties said there must be strong commitment by both the general public and security agencies to find solution to the security challenges facing his constituency.
He said that there was no reason why innocent residents should be accosted by militants and killed.
“The act is unacceptable and enough is enough, we most rise up and face the challenge”, he said.
He then condoled with the bereaved family and the entire people of the zone.
Responding the chairperson Mrs. Piyo thanked the senator for his concern and visit, adding that the visit is a sign to show that he hold his people in high esteem.
She also said the situation has placed the local government in a very critical and challenging situation that needs prayers for God’s intervention.
