In line with my commitment to fostering peace and supporting communities affected by insecurity, I have fulfilled my pledge of one million Naira to the Irigwe community in Bassa Local Government Area of Plateau State.
The Irigwe people have shown remarkable strength and resilience in the face of persistent security challenges. This contribution is a gesture of solidarity and a demonstration of the federal government’s continued support for communities striving to overcome violence and rebuild their lives.
During my recent engagement with the Irigwe community, I witnessed firsthand the courage and determination of the people to rise above their trials. It is my hope that this support will contribute meaningfully to their recovery efforts and help foster peace and unity within the area.
The government remains committed to deepening community engagement and ensuring that vulnerable groups are not left behind in our national efforts toward peace, security, and development.
I commend the leadership and members of the Irigwe community for their resilience and urge all stakeholders to continue promoting dialogue, mutual understanding, and collaborative peacebuilding.
