GOV. ORTOM PLAUDITS TARABA GOVERNOR ON HIS EFFORT OVER JUKUN/TIV CRISIS

Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom on Sunday commended Taraba State Governor,
Darius Ishaku, for the bold steps he’s taken to end the crisis between Jukun and Tiv.

Ortom, in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Terver Akase, on Sunday said the decision to set up a committee comprising of Jukun and Tiv representatives will deepen dialogue and prevent further conflicts in the affected areas.



He, therefore, called on the Taraba State Government to sustain the efforts, as no meaningful development can take place in an atmosphere of violence.

Ortom urged the belligerent groups to embrace the initiative of the Taraba State Governor and allow peace to return.

He added that as Taraba’s neighbour, who also feel the negative impact of the crisis, Benue is optimistic that the measures being taken will lay the roadmap to lasting peace.
