During the visit, he sympathized with affected families and distributed financial assistance to the victims&#8217; relatives.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">He emphasized that the insecurity plaguing rural communities is compounded by the lack of critical infrastructure, particularly access roads, which has made many areas along the Benue River vulnerable and inaccessible to security operatives.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;A well-constructed highway cutting across the riverbanks would not only serve as a deterrent to criminal activity but also open up the region economically,&#8221; Olofu said. &#8220;It would allow security agencies to reach troubled areas more swiftly, while farmers and traders can move their goods and access markets without fear.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Describing the ongoing attacks as a \u201cplague,\u201d Olofu called for collective action across ethnic, religious, and political divides to tackle the crisis. \u201cThis is no longer just a community issue. It is a humanitarian emergency that demands unity and resolve,\u201d he stated.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">He urged local youths to become more proactive in securing their communities, encouraging them to organize community-based vigilante groups instead of relying solely on the elderly or state forces.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Olofu also implored both the state and federal governments to prioritize the development of rural roads. \u201cSecurity agencies often fail to respond promptly because they simply can\u2019t reach these areas due to terrible road conditions,\u201d he lamented.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Reflecting on his upbringing, Olofu shared how agriculture provided the foundation for his family\u2019s survival. \u201cMy father trained all of us from the proceeds of farming. Today, farmers are being driven off their land. If they can\u2019t access their farms or live in peace, where else are they supposed to go?\u201d he asked, visibly emotional.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">To further boost development in border communities, Olofu proposed the immediate establishment of a Benue State Border Communities Development Commission (BCDC) to focus on infrastructure and security challenges in frontline areas.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Speaking during the outreach, Professor David Salifu, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Initiative, stressed that the visit was entirely humanitarian in nature. \u201cWe are here because of love, heritage, and solidarity, not politics. Our hearts break for these communities, and we pray for lasting peace,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Elder statesman Chief Bernard Omaiye commended Dr. Olofu and his team for their consistent show of leadership and compassion. \u201cWhat you\u2019ve done today reminds us that true leadership is people-centered, not power-driven,\u201d he remarked.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Community leaders, including Chief David Otokpa, Clan Head of Edikwu, and Chief Elaigwu Abutu of Aadu, confirmed that 12 people were killed in the most recent attack on Ankpali-Edikwu. They thanked Olofu and his foundation for the support and solidarity shown to the bereaved.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Reacting to the highway proposal, Dr. Paul Angya, a security expert and former Director-General of the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON), backed the idea, stating, \u201cI have always maintained that security starts with accessibility. If the government can\u2019t reach you, it can\u2019t protect you.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Also speaking to Pointblanknews.com, Hon. Francis Agbo, former lawmaker representing Ado\/Okpokwu\/Ogbadibo Federal Constituency, described Olofu\u2019s highway recommendation as a \u201cwin-win for security and development.\u201d He added, \u201cWe need more practical, scalable, and people-focused solutions like this.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Human rights activist Comrade Ucha Ali Abba also lent his voice to the call for immediate action on the proposed BCDC. \u201cBenue State must stop waiting on Abuja for every move. Establishing this commission will ensure border communities receive the attention they deserve,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Tracy Moses Former Benue State Commissioner for Finance and President of the Apa Legacy Sustainability Initiative, Dr. David Olofu has called on the federal government to construct a strategic&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":119750,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-119749","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
