EDITORIAL: THE NEED TO CAUSE UNITY AMONG PLATEAU POLITICIANS NOW THAT PROF. NENTAWE YILWATDA IS APPOINTED

It is a fact to state that, for over 16 months, the presence of Plateau State, and its citizens have not been felt nor heard at the round table of the National Executive Council (NEC), and that within this period under review, the people of Plateau State have used various possible platforms to draw the attention of President Bola A. Tinubu to this.

Within the last few days, these out cries have been looked into and an appointee has emerged for Plateau State in the person of Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, who is expected to head the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction.

It is safe to say at this point that the Humanitarian and Poverty reduction Ministry is not all about bringing relief materials to areas affected by terrorists attacks, Human or Natural disasters, but it would be a technology driven Ministry, where data of Nigerians especially, the vulnerable are collated and intervention are carried out directly to the beneficiaries.
