“I charge all officers and men of this command to bring their best game forward and work towards taking Plateau back to its original state as the Home of Peace and Tourism,” he said.

Mr Ewah promised to be diligent and committed to duty, and called on residents of the state to support the command towards ensuring lasting peace.

“We will work with the good people of Plateau to identify and address security challenges, and we will not rest until we achieve our goals,” he said.
