In a separate remark, the Gwom Kabong and Acting Gwom Du, HRH Da Emmanuel Pam Pogol, appealed to the government for more support to communities, while assuring the people of available land for the establishment of a divisional police headquarters in Du.

The Councilor representing Du A Ward, Hon. David D. Rwang, and the Jos South Supervisory Councilor for Works both appreciated the government for extending developmental projects to grassroots communities.

The representative of the Plateau State Commissioner of Police, DCA Admin. Abdulhameed Lawal, mni, challenged the people of Du to work hand in hand with the Nigerian Police Force and other security agencies, emphasizing that security is everyone’s responsibility. He also advised the Local Government Chairman to liaise with the State Commissioner of Police toward the procurement of security equipment that would enhance surveillance and security within the locality.

In his remarks, the Chairman of Jos South LGA, Hon. Silas Patrick Dung, appreciated the illustrious sons and daughters of Du, the Traditional Council, and the security agencies for their support and cooperation. According to him, “Today is not a day for long speeches, but a day to officially hand over this facility to the Nigerian Police Force.”

He further stated that the laudable achievement reflects the administration’s unwavering commitment to the protection of lives and property, the strengthening of community policing, and ensuring that the people of Du and the entire local government area enjoy a safer and more peaceful environment. He also cautioned youths against keeping late hours unnecessarily, and going to farm alone.

The presence and support of traditional rulers at the commissioning further demonstrated the unity, cooperation, and shared vision between government and community leaders in promoting peace, justice, and grassroots development.

Security remains the foundation upon which meaningful development is built, and this police out-station will go a long way in enhancing rapid response to security challenges, boosting public confidence, and fostering harmony among residents.
