Governor of Benue state, Hyacinth Alia has called for assistance in facilitating the return of internally displaced persons (IDP’s) to their homes.
Alia made the call at the north-central regional consultation on the harmonisation of the national disarmament, demobilisation and reintegration (DDR) framework on Wednesday in Makurdi.
he said that the government was a willing collaborator and partner of peace, and would ensure at all times that peace was the watchword throughout the state and its borders.
The governor also says that although there were a lot of sentiments on the security challenges in that state, guns and land grabbing were not the answers; saying that peace was the target and must be achieved.
