The special adviser to President Tinubu on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, said the efforts culminated in a town hall meeting in Jos.
Onanuga said Essiet, a senior special assistant on community engagement in the North Central Zone, spent two days in the state.
He made this known in a statement issued via his X handle @aonanuga1956 on Sunday, November 16, 2025.
The presidential aide said delegates from various local government areas, traditional rulers, women, and youth leaders gathered.
He disclosed that the delegates discussed ways to strengthen community-based peace structures and promote coexistence among diverse communities.
He said Dr Essiet reiterated Tinubu's unwavering commitment to peace and inclusive governance.
Onanuga noted that the Community-Based Peace Structure serves as a key instrument for grassroots unity, dialogue, and long-term stability in the North Central region.
“A quick win in the peace efforts was the resolution of the conflict between David Toma, the owner of Agha Farm in Gyel district of Jos South, and some herdsmen. Toma seized two cows following the destruction of his farm. On November 15, the MACBAN Chairman of BASSA LGA, Alhaji Isah Yau, paid a compensation of N500,000 to Toma, who subsequently released the cows. All parties signed an undertaking to embrace peace in the state.”

Final investigation report on wanton Plateau killings
Recall that Tinubu was set to receive the final report of the House committee probing recurring killings in Plateau state as lawmakers intensified efforts to end years of bloodshed.
The committee, chaired by Wale Ahmed, concluded consultations with key stakeholders and prepared to submit findings to both the House and the President.
APC Chairman Nentawe Yilwatda commended the House intervention and urged swift government action to restore peace and revive Plateau’s economy.
Military threats: 'US is not joking'
Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that Primate Elijah Ayodele asked President Tinubu to call the governors of Katsina, Niger, and other northern states together and perfect plans on how to eliminate terrorism.
Ayodele, who described terrorists as “enemies of the nation,” said the Nigerian leader may be either confused or frightened.
The outspoken cleric denounced the culture of pardoning 'de-radicalised' terrorists and allegedly compensating them financially.
