The Plateau State Governor, Mr. Simon Bako Lalong, has restated the commitment of his administration to deal with recent attacks by gunmen on the plateau before his exit from office on May 29.

Lalong made this known shortly after the 4th Convocation ceremony of the Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University Lapai., where he was conferred with an honorary doctorate degree in Administration.

He explained that his government will not fold its hands and watch citizens of the state killed, maimed, and displaced.

The attack is said to have claimed 117 lives, many others injured and 20,000 people displaced in the state.

He stated that measures are being taken to nip insecurity in the bud, saying state security agencies are already addressing the recent issue of insecurity.

According to him, “In the past eight years, I have restored peace in the Plateau, unfortunately, I am taking my exit and the criminals are beginning to rear their heads again. I am capable of handling them before I take my exit and I will continue to pray for peace on the Plateau.”

On the IDPs, he said, “They are being taken care of and we have jets flying all over the affected communities and local government areas.”

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella is the latest tech executive to offer lengthy thoughts on how AI safety might be improved.

In a Saturday morning post on X, Nadella wrote that it’s time “to step back and assess the trust architecture” of AI.

“We can’t treat Super Intelligence as a set of nested black boxes and simply accept or reject its recommendations, answers, and actions,” Nadella wrote, using the Trump administration’s preferred term for AI. 

As outlined by Nadella, this approach “means separating the model from the harness that orchestrates its work,” as well as “externalizing controls and safeguards.” He also called for “every meaningful model action” to be documented with “tamper-proof human readable evidence,” and for systems where “an authorized person” always has the ability “to pause or shut down a model mid-task.”

“We must assume a model is compromised and contain it from the start,” he said. “Think of it like an emergency brake.”

Nadella’s comments come as leading AI companies acknowledge more and more incidents where they seemed to lose control of their models, and after Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published a plan for more cautious AI development.
