The Executive Chairman of Toto Local Government Council, Pharmacist Ahmed Baba Yahaya, has expressed satisfaction with the return of peace, unity, and understanding among the people of Bassa since their return to their ancestral home. He made this known while hosting the State Commissioner for Security and Sundry Matters, CP Usman Baba (Rtd), in the area.

He appreciated the peaceful disposition of the people, security agents, and Governor Sule, noting that the peace initiative is yielding expected results ¹.

The Chairman reported that peace has fully returned to the area, with people going about their daily businesses without hitches. Significant numbers of Bassa returnees have successfully registered and are rebuilding their lives peacefully in their villages.

Commissioner CP Usman Baba (Rtd) commended Governor Sule for his inclusive leadership style and called on the people to embrace peace, unity, and understanding for more development to thrive in the area.
