Since the beginning of the Plateau state crisis, there is no social, political or economic benefit derived by its citizens apart from the enormous devastation recorded on lives and properties as well as plunging into a humanitarian crisis.

Though the crisis has rendered thousands as refugees following destruction of their homes, schools, hospitals and farms the citizens have failed to realise its negative consequences on the state’s social, political and economic affairs.

The long-decade crisis ignited with a nepotistic and tribalistic face and bitterly metamorphosed into a religious crisis, ending in serious unrest in the state’s nooks and crannies.

Sadly, despite the serious social, political and economic setbacks it has brought the people of the state are yet to disassociate themselves from the deadly and horrible crisis.

It is high time Plateau state people should desist from all these unprofitable fighting and build their darling state.
