A former member of the House of Representatives and governorship aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in Plateau State, Hon. George Daika, said over 15, 000 traumatised and agonised school children, displaced by herdsmen, have been abandoned by the state and Federal Government without any form of education.

Daika noted that most school children were murdered in cold blood while those taking refuge at the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camps scattered across the state have continued to suffer humiliation and neglect from government.

According to Daika, “The APC government at the federal and state level has failed. Today we have about 15,000 school children at Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camps who have been denied access to education while several families are languishing in abject poverty.

“We must collectively work to stage out APC in Plateau to rebuild the devastated communities whose inhabitants were killed and chased out for the purpose of forceful occupation of the villages.

“I will provide basic need of life for the IDPs, the destitute and the entire people of Plateau without sentiment.”
