President Bola Tinubu has dispatched an emissary, Dr Abiodun Essiet, to Plateau State, as part of his administration’s efforts to curb incessant communal crises, farmers/herders clashes, as well as foster intercommunal harmony in Plateau State.

This was disclosed in a statement on Sunday by Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.

Essiet, a Senior Special Assistant on Community Engagement in the North Central Zone, was in the state on Thursday, where she spent two days.

She met Christian clerics and Fulani Miyetti Allah community leaders.

According to the statement, the efforts also culminated in a town hall meeting in Jos. It further stated that delegates from various local government areas, traditional rulers, women, and youth leaders gathered to discuss ways to strengthen community-based peace structures and promote coexistence among diverse communities.

“Essiet paid a courtesy visit to Reverend Ezekiel Dachomo, Chairman of the Regional Church Council (RCC), in Barkin Ladi, where discussions centred on faith-based leadership and its role in promoting peace, unity, and social development,” Onanuga stated.

“Along with Dachomo, she addressed some widows and conveyed President Tinubu’s message of fostering ethnic reconciliation in the state. Dachomo has been the loudest voice of Christian communities in the state.”

She also met with Fulani leaders in Barkin Ladi to foster dialogue and mutual understanding between pastoral and farming communities, reaffirming the Federal Government’s commitment to inclusive engagement.
