Jos described President Goodluck Jonathan's
declaration of emergency rule in three states as
the best decision for the country.
Jang made the declaration while speaking to
newsmen on arrival at the Jos Airport after a
three-week trip abroad.
"Our president knows better as the chief security
officer of this country, and he has acted in the
interest of all citizens.
"Without peace, there is no way Nigeria can
enjoy the patronage of investors. Peace is a
prerequisite for investment, development and
growth.
"Ours is to support everything the President is
doing, so that we can bring total peace to our
country,'' he said.
The governor said he and some others were just
back from an investment summit in Canada
aimed at attracting investors to the country.
He however said peace had to be in place for the
trip to yield fruits, saying "without peace, no one
will come and invest here.''
Jang said this was why he saw the emergency
rule as a welcome development.
"It is a welcome development, especially as the
political structures are still in place,'' he said.
The governor said the delegation had fruitful
deliberations with various investors in different
sectors of Canada, and they had expressed their
willingness to invest in Plateau.
Jang was among some governors, as well as
ministers and members of National Assembly
who accompanied Vice-President Namadi Sambo
to Canada.
In Canada, they had attended a Business
Investment Summit.
