Jos – The Long Kwo of Kwo Chiefdom, Qua’an Pan Local Government Area of Plateau State, Miskoom Fidelis Attahiru I, has harped on the need for peace and peaceful coexistence among the citizens of the Chiefdom.
The newly installed monarch who is undergoing a “Familiarization and Stocktaking Tour” of his domain reminded his subjects that without peace and peaceful coexistence, nothing meaningful can be achieved in the land.
The tour, which started on May 18, 2021 took him to Dajin Gwapna, Kabas (Gidan Dabat) and Konggoeyen and in all the communities, Miskoom Attahiru I called on elders and Chiefs within the Chiefdom to “avoid tendencies that may have negative values within their communities”, advising them to be “law abiding and to report any strange faces or movements to the appropriate authorities.”

He also appealed to them to “guide their youths toward the enhancement and development of Kwo Chiefdom, Qua’an Pan LGA, Plateau State and Nigeria in general.”
Miskoom Attahiru I assured his subjects who are majorly farmers that he will “create an avenue for partnership with relevant agencies to get the desired farming inputs to the farmers.”
The Long Kwo believed that once that is achieved, “it will go a long way to engaging and taking our teeming youths off the street to contribute to Government’s food security program.”
He further solicited the support and prayers of the people of his domain to constituted authority in the State.
However the elated subjects who expressed joy at his visit assured the monarch of their unalloyed support, stressing that despite the long absence of a monarch in the domain, they have continued to enjoyed their relationship and stay peacefully with their host community.
