“The outcome is an increase in investment and attraction of Federal programmes and projects.

The Governor further said  that he would continue to do more for Plateau citizens

Lalong added that the world is paying attention and embracing the efforts his administration has made towards restoring normalcy to Plateau State which has resulted in more investors coming into the State while people who left his state because of the ugly events of the past have started returning back to the State.

He called on the people of his state to always bear in mind that there is no way peace can be legislated or forced on people, but Only through a genuine desire to cultivate and nurture peace that lasting peace could be achieved in any society.
