Jos witnesses influx of people – Dabit

[MrVan]

Jos –  Mr Bulus Dabit, the  General Manager of Plateau Radio/Telivision Corporation, says that the city of Jos in Plateau is gradually witnessing a huge influx of people.

Dabit attributed the development to the good prevailing weather of Jos and the improvement in the security situation in the town.

He said  in Jos on Sunday that the state government had been executing people- oriented projects and programmes, thereby encouraging to be return to the town.

"The city of Jos in recent times has been converted into almost a huge construction site, wherever you go, you will see that government is working.

"There are greater efforts towards expanding the infrastructure within the city in anticipation of its evolution into a mega city and government is conscious about the movement of people into Jos from every part of the country.

"I wish it were possible for the Federal Government to give intervention fund to the Plateau government to host this massive movement of people.

"People are moving into Jos massively and the kind of resources Plateau Government gets from the federal allocation is too meager; it cannot not cope with the type of expansion to accommodate the number of influx.

"However, the  government as you can see, is doing its own best to expand the provision of potable water, roads, ensure stable power supply and other social infrastructure," Dabit said. (NAN)
