Mutfwang seeks dialogue with protest leaders in Plateau

Plateau State governor, Caleb Mutfwang, has called on the leaders of the #EndBadGovernance protest in the state to engage in dialogue, emphasising that his administration is open to discussions.

The governor said dialoguing with protest leaders will help establish a common ground where they can share their thoughts and contribute to the state’s poverty alleviation plans.

In a state-wide broadcast on Tuesday, Mutfwang stressed the importance of dialogue, acknowledging that the government does not have a monopoly on wisdom.

He expressed his intention to meet with other youth groups after the protests.

• We must deal with bandits’ informants, collaborators

He warned, however, that prolonged protests increased the risk of being hijacked by criminals and hoodlums, which began to occur from Sunday evening.

As a preventive measure, the government imposed a 24-hour curfew on the Jos-Bukuru metropolis starting from Sunday midnight.

The governor explained that the 24-hour curfew will be reviewed as soon as the security situation allows.
