He said the study topic’ Combating Insecurity in the State, a Whole of Society Approach to Enhancing Human Security,” would help in galvanising support on consolidating on the relative peace in Plateau.
He urged them to proffer solutions that were implementable in addressing the lingering security challenges in the country, saying one of the major policy thrust of the Lalong administration was building peace and ensuring security in the state.
“We made deliberate attempts since we assumed office in 2015 to end insecurity in the state, to some extent we have succeeded until the recent fracas that we had, but we are still operating within the road map that we drafted,” Lalong said.
