Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State has officially facilitated the return of displaced Bassa communities to their ancestral homes after spending seven years in various internally displaced persons (IDP) camps.

The return marks a significant milestone in the efforts to restore peace and normalcy to areas previously affected by communal violence in the state.

The resettlement ceremony took place in Sardauna, Toto Local Government Area, where the governor assured the returning communities of his administration’s commitment to their safety and long-term stability.

He explained that the state government had taken time to work with security agencies and community leaders to ensure the return process would be smooth, secure, and lasting.

Governor Sule noted that the Bassa people had suffered long enough due to the violence that erupted years ago, leading to their displacement from several villages.

He emphasised that peace-building efforts and reconciliation between warring groups have made it possible for them to safely return.

The governor also promised to continue supporting the communities through infrastructure development, social services, and economic empowerment programs to help them rebuild their lives.

He urged the returnees to embrace peace and unity and avoid actions that could reignite old tensions.

Leaders of the Bassa community expressed gratitude to Governor Sule’s government for its intervention, calling it a moment of relief and new beginnings. They pledged to support peace initiatives and work with local authorities to ensure lasting stability.

The return of the Bassa communities is seen as a major step in healing the wounds caused by years of conflict and displacement in Nasarawa State.
