According to a statement by his Special Adviser, Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngalale, on Tuesday, the President emphasised the need for joint responsibility and closer collaboration between the federal and sub-national governments to foster rapid infrastructural development in every part of the nation.

He said, “I want us to discard federal, state, or rural road classifications. We must regard development as a joint responsibility. Let us prioritize our children.

“The school feeding programme must return quickly, beginning from the local government to the state and federal governments. We must be ready to protect our children and prepare them for the future.”

The statement further read that while condemning the recent killings in Plateau State, the President issued a stern directive to security agencies to halt the carnage in the state and intensify the pursuit of those responsible for the recent tragic events.
