PEPSA LAUNCHES FRAMEWORKS TO IMPROVE ENVIRONMENTAL GOVERNANCE AND SANITATION SERVICES

The Plateau State Environmental Protection and Sanitation Agency (PEPSA) has commenced the development of two landmark institutional frameworks aimed at strengthening environmental governance, improving sanitation service delivery, and promoting sustainable behaviour change across Plateau State.

The initiative, officially launched during an inception meeting at the Agency’s headquarters, will produce the Plateau State Social and Behaviour Change Communication (SBCC) Guidelines and the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for PEPSA Operations. The consultancy is being led by Lead Technical Consultant, Herbert Gomagallah Daniel, with the support of a multidisciplinary team of experts.

Speaking at the inception meeting, the Director General of PEPSA, Samuel Nathaniel Dapiya, described the exercise as a major institutional reform designed to strengthen the Agency’s systems and improve service delivery. He explained that the SBCC Guidelines will provide a practical framework for promoting positive sanitation behaviours among households, schools, businesses, markets, transport operators, institutions, and communities across the State.

According to him, sustainable environmental sanitation cannot be achieved through infrastructure and law enforcement alone, but also requires continuous public engagement and behaviour change. He added that the Guidelines will standardize sanitation messaging, strengthen stakeholder collaboration, encourage community participation, and ensure communication strategies are inclusive and culturally appropriate.

On the development of the Standard Operating Procedures, the Director General said the SOPs will establish clear operational processes, improve accountability, define staff responsibilities, strengthen coordination across departments, and preserve institutional knowledge. He emphasized that the goal is to build an institution driven by effective systems rather than individuals.

Presenting the consultancy approach, Lead Technical Consultant Herbert Gomagallah Daniel said the assignment will adopt a participatory and evidence-based process involving consultations with management, technical staff, field officers, local government representatives, development partners, and other key stakeholders. He noted that the project will also include staff capacity development, implementation tools, monitoring and evaluation frameworks, and validation processes to ensure ownership and sustainability.

He added that while the SBCC Guidelines will provide a unified framework for transforming sanitation into a shared social responsibility, the SOPs will simplify workflows, improve coordination, strengthen accountability, and provide practical standards that enhance operational efficiency across the Agency.

Upon completion, the two frameworks are expected to strengthen PEPSA’s institutional capacity, improve coordination with key stakeholders, enhance public confidence, and provide a model for environmental sanitation and behaviour change communication in Nigeria. The initiative also aligns with the Plateau State Government’s commitment to improving environmental governance, advancing public health, promoting sustainable sanitation practices, and achieving Sustainable Development Goal 6 on Clean Water and Sanitation.

A TRIBUTE TO A FALLEN PATRIOTS:RT. HON. DEWAN MOURNS THE PASSING OF ANDREW AMOS GOGWIM



It is with profound sorrow and a heavy heart that I received the heartbreaking news of the passing of Mr. Andrew Amos Gogwim, the Public Relations Officer I of the Ngas Development Association (NDA), a distinguished broadcaster, accomplished author, and an exceptional servant of humanity.

Today, the Ngas nation has lost one of its finest voices. Plateau State has lost a committed patriot, and I have personally lost a dear brother and friend whose life was defined by integrity, humility, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to the service of God and humanity.

Andrew lived a life of purpose. He spoke for the voiceless, worked tirelessly for the progress of our people, and carried every responsibility entrusted to him with dignity and excellence. His kindness touched countless lives, his wisdom inspired many, and his unwavering dedication earned him the respect and admiration of all who crossed his path.

His illness was a battle we all hoped he would overcome. In my determination to see him recover, I spared no effort and committed significant personal resources toward his medical care, believing that God would grant him healing. Sadly, despite our fervent prayers, relentless efforts, and the dedication of medical professionals, the Almighty, in His infinite wisdom, chose to call His faithful servant to eternal rest.

While our hearts are filled with pain and questions, we take solace in the assurance that Andrew fought a good fight, finished his race with honour, and has now gone to receive his eternal reward. Though death has taken him from our sight, it can never erase the impact of his life or the legacy of service he leaves behind.

To his beloved family, the leadership and members of the Ngas Development Association, friends, colleagues, and everyone mourning this painful loss, I pray that God grants you divine comfort, strength, and the grace to bear this irreparable loss. May He surround you with His peace and uphold you during this difficult time.

Andrew Amos Gogwim may have departed this world, but his good deeds, gentle spirit, and remarkable contributions will continue to live in our hearts and in the history of our people.

May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace, and may perpetual light shine upon him forever. Amen.

BLOGGERS, GOVERNMENT, SECURITY AGENCIES UNITE AS PLABOMA PROMOTES RESPONSIBLE DIGITAL MEDIA IN PLATEAU

The Plateau Bloggers and Online Media Association (PLABOMA) hosted an impactful 2026 World Social Media Day celebration in Jos, bringing together key stakeholders, media professionals, content creators, students and digital enthusiasts to promote innovation, creativity and responsible use of social media.

The event was held at Usiju World Event Center, under the theme “Digital Voices: Innovation, Creativity and Youth Engagement,” served as a platform for meaningful conversations on the growing influence of digital media, while highlighting the role of young people in driving innovation, collaboration and positive social change through online platforms.

Speaking during the event, Chairman of PLABOMA, Chief Matthew Oyerinde Tegha, has said social media has evolved beyond a communication tool to become a major driver of economic growth, innovation, job creation and civic engagement.

He said bloggers and content creators have a critical role to play in reshaping the narrative about Plateau State, urging them to use their digital platforms to promote the state’s tourism potential, cultural heritage, entrepreneurial successes and investment opportunities rather than allowing negative stories to dominate public discourse.

Tegha also called on the Plateau State Government, peace builders, entrepreneurs and business owners to work closely with bloggers and content creators in promoting Plateau’s tourism potential, cultural heritage and investment opportunities, saying such partnerships would help reshape the state’s image and drive development.

The keynote speaker and Plateau State Director of the National Orientation Agency (NOA), Mrs. Kaneng Pam Hworo, challenged young people to use their digital voices as instruments for innovation, creativity and nation-building rather than spreading harmful content.

Speaking on the theme, “Digital Voices: Innovation, Creativity and Youth Engagement,” Hworo said social media has evolved beyond a communication platform into a powerful tool capable of shaping public opinion, mobilising communities and influencing national development. She noted that every post, video, podcast or livestream carries the potential to make a positive impact.

According to her, every smartphone has become a powerful platform, while every content creator has the capacity to serve as an agent of positive change. She urged youths to leverage their digital influence responsibly by promoting truth, creativity, innovation and values that contribute to the growth of their communities and the nation.

Also speaking, the Director of Press and Public Affairs to the Plateau State Governor, Dr. Gyang Bere, urged bloggers and content creators to use their digital platforms to promote peace, unity and responsible journalism, stressing that citizen journalism comes with the responsibility of protecting national security and fostering social cohesion.

He called on digital media practitioners to project Plateau State’s positive stories, including its development strides, tourism potential and resilient people, assuring them of Governor Caleb Mutfwang’s continued support for the media in advancing responsible digital communication and sustainable development.

Member of the PLABOMA Board of Trustees, Mr. Yakubu Taddy, cautioned social media users against irresponsible online activities, warning that what people post on digital platforms could have lasting consequences on their personal and professional lives. He urged content creators to be mindful of the information they share online.

Taddy also called for stronger collaboration among media and social media organisations to promote fact-checking and responsible journalism, encouraging bloggers and digital publishers to verify information before publication in order to curb the spread of misinformation.

A major highlight of the event was the unveiling of PLABOMA’s Unified Bloggers Website, a first-of-its-kind platform designed to connect over 30 active bloggers, strengthen collaboration and boost the visibility of digital journalism in Plateau State.

Stakeholders at the event commended  PLABOMA for launching its Unified Bloggers Website: https://plaboma.com/ , describing the initiative as a major step towards strengthening collaboration among online publishers and promoting credible digital journalism in Plateau State.

They, however, urged the association to expand the platform’s focus by promoting Plateau State’s rich tourism destinations, cultural heritage and investment opportunities, noting that consistent positive storytelling would help reshape the state’s image and attract more visitors and investors.

The Secretary of the Plateau Bloggers and Online Media Association (PLABOMA), Mr. Ibrahim Kallamu, said social media has evolved into a powerful tool for communication, business, education, news dissemination and civic engagement, urging participants to leverage digital platforms responsibly to create opportunities, promote innovation and contribute to societal development.

Popular content creator and comedian, Mr. Sunday Agbaji, popularly known as Hilarious Sunnie, highlighted the transformative power of digital media, sharing his journey in content creation and encouraging young people to embrace creativity, consistency and originality. He noted that impactful digital content has the potential to educate, inspire, entertain and create sustainable economic opportunities.

Delivering his goodwill message, the Chairman of the Plateau State Internal Revenue Service (PSIRS), Dr. Jim Pam Wayas, urged young people and content creators to take advantage of the enormous economic opportunities offered by social media, stressing that impactful storytelling and content creation can be monetised to generate sustainable income while promoting positive narratives about Plateau State and Nigeria.

Representing the Director-General of the Plateau State Peacebuilding Agency, Dr. Julie Sanda, Mr. Kenneth Dakop, Team Lead, Strategic Communication, commended PLABOMA for promoting peace and positive narratives through digital media, describing the association as a strategic partner in advancing social cohesion and assuring it of the agency’s continued support in building a peaceful and united Plateau State.

Representing the Commander of Operation Enduring Peace, Maj. Gen. EF Oyinlola, Capt. CP Oteh commended PLABOMA for promoting responsible digital journalism and urged bloggers and content creators to use their platforms to support security efforts, promote peacebuilding and foster unity by sharing verified information and positive narratives about Plateau State.

The event ended with the presentation of awards to outstanding individuals and organisations, including PLASMIDA, PLASCHEMA, NUJ Chairman Mrs. Ayuku Pwaspo, Media Icon, the Plateau State Ministry of Information, Youth Engagement and Impact, and Godwin Okoko, in recognition of their effective use of social media to promote public engagement, innovation and community development.

PANKSHIN NORTH PHASE II,2027: THE HARVEST OF PERFORMANCE


RT HON DEWAN K GABRIEL

“A farmer who has diligently tilled the ground does not fear the day of harvest; he awaits it with confidence, knowing that his labour will speak for itself.”

As we approach 2027, the people of Pankshin North will not be asked to choose based on promises, rhetoric, or political sentiments. They will be invited to assess visible achievements, measurable impact, and lives transformed through purposeful leadership.

The record is clear:

✅ Construction and renovation of schools to improve access to quality education.

✅ Provision and support of healthcare facilities and clinics for better healthcare delivery.

✅ Drilling of boreholes to provide clean and safe drinking water to communities.

✅ Installation of transformers and support for improved electricity supply.

✅ Rural electrification of communities through solar-powered mini-grid projects.

✅ Scholarships and educational assistance for students at various levels.

✅ Payment of medical bills and healthcare support for vulnerable citizens.

✅ Distribution of fertilizers and agricultural inputs to support farmers and boost food production.

✅ Promotion and sponsorship of sports development programmes for youths.

✅ Empowerment of youths with vehicles and motorcycles to create employment opportunities and improve livelihoods.

✅ Training and graduation of youths in various vocational and technical skills, equipping them for self-reliance and entrepreneurship.

✅ Support for churches, faith-based organizations, and community development initiatives.

✅ Financial and material assistance to small business owners and entrepreneurs.

✅ Numerous humanitarian interventions and empowerment programmes that have touched lives across every ward and community in Pankshin North.

✅ securing of employment opportunities for many youths .

These are not campaign promises; they are verifiable achievements. They are the seeds of service, compassion, development, and people-oriented leadership that have been planted across Pankshin North.

When the day of assessment arrives, performance will speak louder than propaganda. When the day of harvest comes, the people will remember who stood with them in times of need, who invested in their future, and who delivered meaningful development to their communities.

Indeed, a farmer who has tilled the ground well has no reason to fear the harvest.

HAUSA GWAGWARMIYA (LIBERATION) MOVEMENT IS THE BIGGEST LOSER OF THE JOS NORTH INDIGENEITY RULING

By Jonathan Ishaku

Much of the controversy surrounding the recent Jos North indigeneity ruling has focused on its implications for the indigenous ethnic communities of Jos—the Berom, Afizere, and Anaguta peoples. Their concern is understandable. If mere birth in a locality automatically confers indigenous status, then the constitutional and historical basis upon which minority communities protect themselves from demographic domination may be seriously weakened.

Yet, beyond the Plateau, there is another group that may ultimately suffer even greater consequences from this legal reasoning: the Hausa people themselves.

For several years now, an intellectual and political current has been emerging within Hausaland that seeks to reassert a distinct Hausa identity separate from Fulani political domination. Its adherents argue that since the jihad of Sheikh Uthman dan Fodio in 1804, the Hausa have lived under a political order that gradually subordinated their indigenous institutions, aristocracies, and cultural autonomy to a Fulani ruling class.

Whether one agrees with this interpretation or not, it is a growing strand of thought within contemporary Northern discourse.

Ironically, the Jos North ruling strikes at the very foundation of such an argument.

If indigeneity is no longer tied to ancestry, historical roots, and the collective identity of a people but merely to place of birth, then the distinction between Hausa and Fulani claims to ownership of Hausaland becomes increasingly meaningless.

The Fulani ruling elites were born in Kano, Katsina, Zaria, Gobir, Daura, and the rest of the Hausa Bakwai just as much as the Hausa masses were. Under the logic of the ruling, they possess the same claim to indigenous status.

Indeed, some prominent Fulani scholars have long advanced the position that there is no separate Hausa ethnic identity. Figures such as Sheikh Ahmad Gumi and Sheikh Ibrahim El-Zakzaky have, at various times, questioned or minimized the distinction between Hausa and Fulani identities. Now, the new concept of indigeneity emerging from the Jos ruling inadvertently strengthens such arguments.

Paradoxically, therefore, the beneficiary of the ruling belongs to the Hausa ethnic group, while one of its long-term consequences may be to weaken the broader Hausa quest for cultural and historical self-definition.

This is because every indigenous claim in the world rests upon some notion of ancestry, historical continuity, and collective memory. Once these are discarded in favour of birthplace alone, the concept of an indigenous people becomes difficult to sustain anywhere.

The implications extend far beyond Jos North. They touch the constitutional logic behind indigeneity across Nigeria, the Federal Character principle, and the protection of minority and historically rooted communities. But they also affect majorities. The Hausa case demonstrates that even a large ethnic group can find its historical claims diluted when ancestry and collective heritage are removed from the definition of indigeneity.

The lesson is simple. A legal doctrine designed to solve one local dispute may have profound unintended consequences elsewhere. In this instance, the greatest casualty may not be the indigenous minorities of Jos alone, but also the emerging Hausa movement seeking to reclaim and preserve a distinct historical identity within Nigeria’s complex national mosaic.

INDIGENEITY, CITIZENSHIP AND THE JOS QUESTION:WHY THE RIGHTS OF AUTOCHTHONOUS COMMUNITIES MATTER

By Jonathan Ishaku

The recent court ruling reportedly conferring indigene status on a woman in Jos North on the sole ground that she was born there has reignited one of the most sensitive constitutional and political debates in Nigeria. While every citizen is entitled to equality before the law and freedom from discrimination, it is important not to confuse citizenship with indigeneity. The two concepts are related but they are not identical.

The issue is not whether the individual concerned is a Nigerian citizen. She undoubtedly is. The issue is whether birth alone, without ancestral, ethnic, historical, or communal linkage to the indigenous communities of a territory, automatically confers indigene status. If that proposition is accepted without qualification, it carries implications far beyond Jos North. It would fundamentally alter the constitutional architecture designed to protect Nigeria’s fragile ethnic diversity.

At the heart of the debate lies a simple question: What is indigeneity?

International law provides useful guidance. The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples recognizes the special rights of peoples who possess historical continuity with territories they have traditionally occupied and who maintain distinct cultural, social, and political identities. The declaration does not equate indigeneity with mere residence or place of birth. Rather, it recognizes a deeper historical relationship between a people and their ancestral homeland.

This distinction exists because indigenous peoples everywhere have historically faced the threat of displacement, assimilation, marginalization, and demographic domination by larger or more powerful groups. Consequently, international law grants special recognition and protection to indigenous communities, not as a privilege, but as a safeguard against extinction and dispossession.

The situation in Jos and the wider Middle Belt reflects precisely the concerns that informed these international protections.

The indigenous peoples of Jos North—principally the Berom, Afizere, and Anaguta communities—are not merely residents of the area. They are its autochthonous peoples. Their historical connection to the land predates colonial rule, the emergence of modern Nigerian administrative structures, and the migration of numerous other communities into the region.

The city of Jos grew into a cosmopolitan centre largely because of colonial mining activities and subsequent economic opportunities that attracted Nigerians from every corner of the country. This diversity is one of Jos’ greatest strengths. Yet the very success of Jos as a melting pot has also created anxieties among indigenous communities who fear becoming minorities in their own ancestral homeland.

Such fears are not irrational. Across the Middle Belt, indigenous ethnic groups have historically faced pressures arising from demographic expansion, political competition, economic disparities, and, in some cases, violent conflicts over land and identity. The concern has never been whether non-indigenes should enjoy citizenship rights. They should and they must. The concern is whether indigenous communities should lose the limited constitutional protections available to them simply because migration and population growth have altered local demographics.

This is precisely why the framers of the Nigerian Constitution incorporated the Federal Character Principle.

Federal Character was not inserted into the Constitution by accident. It was a deliberate response to Nigeria’s extraordinary diversity and the recurring fears of domination by larger groups. Its purpose was to ensure that all constituent communities, especially minorities, had meaningful access to representation, public employment, educational opportunities, and political participation. It was an obligation to its people and also as a signatory to the UN Declaration.

The principle recognizes that Nigeria is not merely a collection of individuals. It is also a federation of communities, cultures, and peoples. By acknowledging indigeneity, the Constitution seeks to preserve the balance between national unity and cultural diversity.

If indigene status becomes detached from ancestry, history, and communal identity and is instead conferred solely on the basis of birthplace, the entire rationale of Federal Character begins to unravel.

Consider the implications.

A large metropolitan area could, within a generation or two, effectively transfer indigene status from its indigenous communities to more numerous migrant populations. The communities that Federal Character was designed to protect would gradually lose the very protections created for their survival. The constitutional shield intended for minorities would become unavailable precisely when they needed it most.

Such an outcome would be especially troubling in the Middle Belt, where many indigenous groups already experience demographic vulnerability. Communities that are numerically small at the national level would find themselves increasingly marginalized in their ancestral territories. Over time, the distinction between indigenous communities and later settlers would disappear, not because historical realities changed, but because legal definitions had been altered.

The result would not be greater justice. It would merely replace one perceived inequity with another.

This does not mean that people born and raised in Jos should be treated as outsiders. Far from it. A person born in Jos, educated in Jos, and contributing to the development of Jos deserves full citizenship rights and equal protection under the law. Such a person should not suffer discrimination in employment, education, or access to public services.

Nigeria indeed requires reforms that reduce the harsh consequences of the indigene-settler divide. However, those reforms should aim at expanding citizenship rights without extinguishing indigenous rights.

The solution is not to abolish indigeneity through judicial interpretation. Rather, it is to strengthen residency rights, enforce equal citizenship, and simultaneously preserve the collective rights of indigenous communities over their cultural identity, historical heritage, and ancestral homeland.

Many countries successfully maintain this distinction. A person may live all his life in a particular place and enjoy full citizenship rights without necessarily becoming part of the indigenous people of that territory. Indigenous status is a collective historical identity, not merely a geographical accident of birth.

The challenge before Nigeria, therefore, is to strike a balance between two legitimate claims: the rights of citizens and the rights of indigenous peoples.

The Berom, Afizere, and Anaguta peoples have no quarrel with Nigerian citizenship. Their concern is the preservation of their identity and their constitutional protections as autochthonous communities. That concern deserves respect. It is consistent with both international norms and the spirit of Nigeria’s federal arrangement.

In the final analysis, citizenship unites the nation, while indigeneity protects its diversity. Confusing the two may appear progressive in the short term, but in the long term it risks undermining the very communities whose protection gave birth to the Federal Character Principle in the first place.

The question is not whether a person born in Jos belongs to Nigeria. The answer is unquestionably yes.

The real question is whether birth alone can erase centuries of historical connection between a people and their ancestral homeland.

That is a question that should concern not only the indigenous peoples of Jos, but every minority community in Nigeria.

A TESTAMENT AND AN EPITOME OF A TRUE REPRESENTATION _Returning Rt. Hon. Gabriel Kudangbena Dewan (The very One)

Written by: Hon. Nenrot Binshak Duk


RT. HON. Dewan Kudangbena Gabriel is a Nigerian politician currently representing Pankshin North constituency in the 10th Plateau State House of Assembly. He has earlier served as the Speaker of Plateau State House of Assembly. He is the youngest to assume the position of House speaker in the state as a result of his charisma, humility, dedication, generosity and respect for the people he is representing. Under the leadership of RT. Hon. Dewan, important bills such as the Plateau State Electricity Bill, Plateau State minimum Wage were passed and signed into law by the Executive. 
His position as the speaker was later humbly relinquished for the progress of the State. I wonder how many politicians will make that sacrifice.
His empowerment and philanthropic gesture spreads through the entire constituencies he is representing (Pankshin North Constituency).
RT. Hon. Dewan has gained popularity in his constituency and beyond for giving out reasonable donations to student’s groups, assistance in building several town halls in indigent constituents, drilling of bore-holes and helping to meet the needs of countless individual ranging from hospital bills, school fees, accommodation/rents of various people thereby epitomizing what a true representation should be. 
While all of the above can be disputed by his political rivals interpreting his benevolent gesture to be politically motivated with the intent of winning the hearts of the electorates in future elections, we encourage other politicians to play fairly in accordance with the rules too and also exemplify his empowerment and philanthropic gesture so as to convince the electorates that they are really willing to serve and make positive impact.
A while back, when the students of the University of Jos, Plateau State were advised to vacate their hostels suddenly following heightened security concerns in parts of Jos as a precautionary measure, Rt. Hon. Dewan (the very one) was proactive enough to single-handedly transport students from their hostels in Jos and hosted them in his house in Pankshin, fed them and gave them transport fairs to their respective locations within his constituency (Pankshin North Constituency) and environs. We will really appreciate this kind of gesture if that is what all politicians will exhibit as politics today is beyond empty promises.
If God wants to liberate his people, He uses a man. The only thing people can do about whom God has given the mandate is to cooperate with him and give all the necessary support required by re-electing the very man . Testimonies and evidences of his selfless representation abounds and many can attest to the fact that RT. Hon. Gabriel Kudangbena Dewan is Godsent because he has impacted several lives positively and he is the very one the people of Pankshin North constituency are seeking to re-elect.
The voice of God is the voice of the people and we the people of Pankshin North constituency are left with no better option other than returning our able, experienced and competent representative, RT. Hon. Gabriel Kudangbena Dewan (the very one) back to the Plateau State Assembly to consolidate on the numerous good works and achievements he has been doing. He has been tested and his good works can be seen all around his constituency and we are willing to entrust him with our votes again.
Long live Pankshin North constituency!
Long live PKK!!
Long live Plateau State.
