In Jos, Plateau State, Crispan Suites and Event Centre stands resolute in its dedication to delivering unparalleled service, branding itself as a “home away from home” with a reputation for exceptional security and services.
Addressing the media in Jos, Mrs. Svetlana Alexandrovna, the General Manager, voiced her concerns about the media’s negative portrayal of insecurity in the state. She emphasized the detrimental impact such portrayals, particularly concerning Jos, the state capital, have on tourism and investment.
“Despite security challenges affecting tourist influx, Plateau State is not accurately represented by the media,” Mrs. Alexandrovna asserted. “There are numerous attractions and positive aspects that deserve global recognition.”
Highlighting the repercussions of media reports on business, she pointed out instances where reservations were canceled due to security concerns fueled by sensationalized coverage.
Mr. Ibrahim Benjamin, the Director of Sales, underscored the hotel’s unwavering commitment to guest security and comfort. He reassured the public that Crispan Hotel prioritizes stringent security measures, refusing accommodation to individuals of questionable character.
In addition to internal security measures, Mrs. Alexandrovna highlighted the hotel’s collaboration with conventional security agencies, conducting thorough security checks before guests check in. Crispan, being one of Jos’s largest hotels, boasts an impressive capacity, offering almost 4,000 parking spaces.
Furthermore, the management urged the state government to enhance infrastructure, attract companies and industries, and increase flights to Yakubu Gowon Airport from Lagos and other regions to bolster tourism and business in Plateau State.
Despite prevailing security challenges, Crispan Hotel and Event Centre remains unwavering in its commitment to excellence, ensuring a secure and hospitable environment for guests and visitors in Jos, Plateau State.
In a press briefing held by Equity International, Ambassador Chris Iyama addressed the media, shedding light on the grim situation in Mangu, Bokkos, and other Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Plateau State. The organization expressed deep concern over a series of unfortunate events, culminating in the senseless killings of at least 230 innocent people between December 24th, 2023, and January 28th, 2024.
Chris Iyama highlighted the heartbreaking nature of these incidents, occurring during a time when communities were preparing to celebrate Christmas. The perpetrators, labeled as enemies of humanity, spared no one, slaughtering women, children, and even newborns in the dead of night. What adds to the horror is the apparent lack of restraint from security agencies, allowing the attacks to continue unabated for hours.
Equity International vehemently condemned these unprovoked attacks on humanity, emphasizing that there is no justification for the killing of innocent people in their sleep. The organization called on governments at all levels to take decisive actions in apprehending the perpetrators and ensuring they face the full force of the law.
Expressing concern over the apparent inability of the Plateau State Governor to command troops for arrests, the organization urged the National Assembly to expedite the creation of State Police. This, they argued, would empower governors to swiftly respond to security problems, given their role as the first respondents in such situations.
Equity International called for immediate measures to compensate communities whose property and farmlands were destroyed. The attacked communities, being among the largest farming communities in Plateau State and Nigeria, face severe implications for food security. The organization highlighted the urgency of addressing this issue to prevent scarcity in the coming days.
Expressing alarm over the apparent targeting of Christian communities and churches, Equity International deemed these attacks as attempts to systematically annihilate brethren in Plateau State. The organization urged security agencies to fulfill their responsibilities in protecting innocent and helpless citizens.
Despite federal government and security chief visits to affected areas, Equity International expressed disappointment at the lack of significant progress in improving security. Dismissing claims that the affected communities were inaccessible, the organization called for intensified efforts to secure the lives of those in underserved and under-protected communities.
The organization urged the federal government and security agencies to reclaim and secure all abandoned farmlands and homes. This, they argued, would encourage farmers who left their ancestral lands in fear to return and rebuild their communities.
Equity International’s statement was complemented by firsthand testimony from Comrade Sunday D. Dankaka, the National President of the Mwaghavul Youth Movement, criticizing the military’s unfounded assertions about the events in Mangu. Dankaka emphasized the need for a thorough investigation, refuting the military’s claim of Ebenezer Caleb’s death and providing detailed statistics on the extent of the devastation in Mangu, including casualties, injuries, and property damage.
Equity International called on the National Emergency Management Agency to intensify humanitarian support for affected communities. The organization also appealed to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to demonstrate through actions the “Renewed Hope” promised to Nigerians, aiming for the restoration of relative peace in Plateau State.
Other community representatives at the press conference recounted harrowing attacks by herders, stressing the widespread impact of the violence and urging urgent protection and support. With tensions rising in Plateau State, the calls for swift action from civil society organizations and local leaders are intensifying, emphasizing the pressing need for a comprehensive and coordinated response to address the root causes of the conflict.
In a deliberate effort to improve Plateau State security, Governor Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang has formally put 34 Hilux vehicles into service with the goal of enhancing community vigilance.
In order to guarantee a smooth deployment of security officers throughout the Local Government Areas, the 17 Chairmen of the Local Government Transition Implementation Committee collaborated collectively to acquire the vehicles.
In the commissioning ceremony that took place at the Old Government House in Rayfield, Jos on Monday, Governor Mutfwang reaffirmed the unwavering commitment of his government to enhancing the safety of both individuals and properties, with a specific emphasis on the state’s rural communities. The Governor underlined that security must always come first as an essential component of any significant advancement.
According to a statement issued by Mr. Gyang Bere, The Director of Press and Public Affairs to the Governor, stated that “This marks the initiation of our commitment to reshape the security architecture on the Plateau. The State Government will soon introduce additional measures to support security agencies in effectively executing their duties statewide.”
Assuring the citizens of Plateau State, Governor Mutfwang pledged, “Rest assured, we are actively working to fulfill our constitutional responsibility of safeguarding lives and property. Our determination knows no bounds, and we will continue striving to ensure effective discharge of this duty.” He added.
The Governor extended his gratitude to the Local Government Chairmen for pooling resources to enhance the well-being of the citizens and encouraged them to intensify their efforts in the best interest of the people. Presenting the security vehicles to the Governor, Hon. Ephraim Usman, the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, said the gesture is aimed at assisting security personnel to respond promptly to security challenges within their respective Local Government Areas.
