The management of Jos South Local Government Area (LGA), has pledged unalloyed support to the Plateau Government on the implementation of Executive Order 003.
The LGA Transition Implementation Committee Chairman, Mr Peter Dung, stated this on Wednesday in Jos, while speaking with newsmen on the skirmishes that occurred in Bukuru.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), reports that the Executive Order 003 is aimed at ensuring that activities in the Jos metropolis conform to the Greater Jos Master Plan.
NAN also reports that cars and houses were razed down by some hoodlums when the taskforce led by the Jos Metropolitan Development Board (JMDB), was enforcing the order in Bukuru on Monday.
Dung described the unfortunate incident as ”pure madness by some miscreants who don’t want peace to reign”.
“They have nothing to do with the taskforce.They are hoodlums, and the government will never tolerate them.
“We appreciate what the security operatives have done. The security personnel stood there to ensure that peace was restored, and that peace had come to stay.
“The executive order 003 is a law that nobody can challenge.
“The order must be implemented, and it has come to stand, and JMDB would work to ensure that they achieve order 003.
“As a government, we are totally in support of the state government, and we will not be intimidated by miscreants,” he stated.
The chairman said that peace has since returned to the area and that people were going about their businesses peacefully without molestation.
Dung further stated that in line with the state government’s resolve to restore sanity on the streets of Jos, the local government built a multimillion-naira ultramodern motor park to rid the area of illegal parks.
The chairman promised to wholeheartedly serve the people of Jos South as their chief servant. NAN
