GOVERNOR Nasir el-Rufai of Kaduna State says there was the need to work with Plateau State in order to address the security challenge facing the two states.
The governor spoke in Jos yesterday when he paid a condolence visit to the government and people of the state over the recent attacks that left many people dead and properties destroyed, according to a statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the Plateau State Deputy Governor, Doman Wetkum.
According to the statement, el-Rufai noted that Kaduna and Plateau states are not only neighbours, but are constantly faced with similar violent experiences.
The statement read in part, “Governor Nasiru El-Rufai says adherence to the rule of law is critical to the survival and stability of every society.
“He gave an assurance that he would work collaboratively with his Plateau State counterpart by sharing ideas that would help tackle the level of insecurity in both states.”
Governor el-Rufai, while praying for the repose of the souls of the departed, acknowledged the efforts of Governor Simon Lalong towards the restoration of peace in Plateau State, the statement added.
