The Governor of Plateau State, Caleb Muftwang, has lamented that his dream to build schools in the state might not be attainable because the children to attend the schools are running from bullets.

Muftwang said this after he paid a visit to the graves of those killed during the renewed wave of attacks on Plateau communities by Fulani herdsmen.

The governor, however, expressed the believe that his generation would put an end to the plague affecting his state.

He shared on X, "For over two decades, we’ve endured cycles of violence that are not mere clashes, but coordinated attempts at the annihilation of our people. Let us call it what it is genocide, fueled by a land-grabbing agenda, masked as farmer-herder disputes.

"These atrocities didn’t begin with me, nor with the past Governors.

"But together, we must be the generation that ends it.

"I have heard the cries of our people. I have visited the graves, the camps, the broken homes. Mr. President himself called me personally to express his concern. Since then, we’ve been working tirelessly day and night to find solutions. But government alone cannot fix this. We need you. We need all hands on deck.

"I did not come into office just to govern. I came with a mission to break the chains of poverty and help our people rise into prosperity. But how can we build schools when children are running from bullets? How can we develop agriculture when farmers are displaced from their land?

"I do not stand before you today as a ruler, but as a servant. A servant of the Plateau agenda. A servant of our shared future.

"Together, we must restore peace. Together, we will."
