Salvaging the Pitiable Situation

The killings in Bokkos and Barkin Ladi Local Government Areas of Plateau state, at a time when millions are celebrating, are very unfortunate. It is a tragedy coming at a time when the government at all levels is glorifying the January/December budget cycle, while budget performance at the center and the states of the federation are giving citizens sleepless nights. Those in charge must justify their positions by salvaging the pitiable situation convincingly.
