Bagos Donates Relief Items in Riyom, Demands Swift Action to End Insecurity in Plateau
The former member representing Jos South/Jos East Federal Constituency, Hon. Dachung Musa Bagos, has paid a humanitarian visit to an Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camp in Riyom Local Government Area of Plateau State, where he decried the continued suffering of victims affected by recent violent attacks.
Moved by the conditions he witnessed, Hon. Bagos expressed deep concern and sorrow over the plight of displaced families who have been forced to flee their ancestral homes due to insecurity.
“My heart is heavy after visiting an IDP camp in Riyom, where innocent victims of the barbaric attacks now seek refuge,” he said.
During the visit, the former lawmaker donated relief materials to the camp, interacted with displaced persons, and offered words of encouragement and solidarity, assuring them that their voices would not go unheard.
“I spent time with them, offering relief materials and standing in solidarity with their pain and their strength. They deserve justice, security, and the chance to return to their ancestral lands with dignity.”
Bagos stressed the urgency of addressing the root causes of the crisis and called on both the state and federal governments to act swiftly to restore peace, rebuild affected communities, and bring perpetrators to justice.
“We cannot look away. We must not be silent,” he declared. “These victims are not just statistics. They are people with dreams, families, and rights. Justice must prevail.”
His visit comes amid rising concerns over continued attacks on rural communities in Plateau State and the growing number of internally displaced persons. His intervention has drawn praise from local leaders and residents, who say it brings hope in a time of despair.
Hon. Bagos reaffirmed his commitment to advocating for lasting peace, community rebuilding, and the safe return of displaced people to their homes.
Recall that on Thursday 3rd July Nigeria’s First Lady Oluremi Tinubu, was also in plateau State, were she donated a generous sum of one Billion Naira, to the Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang, in support of the victims of the recent violence in the state.
The visit underscores the increasing calls for action to end the cycles of violence in Plateau communities and to uphold the dignity and rights of displaced citizens.
The Kano State Ministry of Health has closed two private health training institutions operating without approval from the state government and relevant professional and regulatory bodies.
The closure was announced in a statement issued by the ministry’s Public Relations Officer, Abubakar Kofar-Na’isa, on Tuesday in Kano.
He said the affected institutions are Ibn Sina College of Health Science and Technology, located at Dakata Kawaji, and Life Line College of Health Science and Technology, situated at Dakata Industrial Area, both in Nasarawa Local Government Area of the state.
According to him, the closure followed a comprehensive assessment by the ministry, which found that both institutions failed to meet the minimum requirements and standards for the establishment and operation of health training schools.
He added that the institutions were allegedly operating without proper verification and approval from the ministry and lacked accreditation from relevant professional and regulatory bodies responsible for overseeing health education and training in Nigeria.

“Investigations further uncovered significant deficiencies, including inadequate qualified teaching personnel, poor learning facilities, insufficient infrastructure, and failure to comply with established educational and operational standards required for effective health manpower development,” he said.
“The ministry also observed poor adherence to professional ethics, regulatory guidelines, and other mandatory requirements designed to safeguard the quality of healthcare education and ensure the competence of future healthcare professionals.”
The statement further quoted the ministry as advising proprietors of health training institutions across the state to strictly comply with legal and regulatory provisions guiding their operations.
The ministry explained that the closure of non-compliant institutions remained a necessary step towards ensuring quality healthcare education, protecting the interests of students, and maintaining excellence in healthcare service delivery throughout the state.
