Governor Simon Lalong of Plateau has tasked management committee chairmen of local government areas to ensure security and inclusiveness in their governance.
The governor gave the task while inaugurating Mr Gideon Davou, the new appointed Management Committee Chairman of Jos South Local Government Area, on Friday at the Government House, Jos.
Lalong said the appointment of Davou came at a period where people were in dire need of dividends of democracy and improved living standard, whose achievment can be fast track with security.
“Pay attention to the issue of security. The first cardinal thing is about security. The era of asking chairman on killings in his area and his saying, I do not know what happened is over,” he warned.
