The Afizere community in Plateau state North Central Nigeria has called on Governor Simon Lalong to hasten up the completion of the ongoing infrastructural development and for the establishment of new ones in Izere land. This is contained in a text of a speech delivered by the National President, Afizere Cultural and Community Development Association ( ACCDA), Ada (cmr) Azi Waziri Atu, on the occasion of Ikos Izere,( an annual Festival of Arts and Culture) of the Afizere people.

According to comrade Atu, " it is most gratifying that the occasion we are gladly witnessing is as result of the peaceful atmosphere of Plateau state led by the amiable Governor, Rt. Hon. (Dr.) Simon Bako Lalong and the Chairman, Northern Governors' Forum.

“We are also grateful for his inclusive nature of administration and identifying with the Izere nation in all aspect of human endeavours. Recall that the Executive Governor was personally at this venue for the Coronation and Presentation of 2nd Class Staff of Office to the Agwom Jos Izere Chiefdom in the Jos North LGA on the 13th December, 2019. 

“Needles therefore to repeat our requests for the completion of the massive on- going infrastructural development in Izere land and the demand for new ones as captured in my speech with very positive response from the Governor, such as The Zarazon Fobur   Road, Fobur - Angware, completion of Fobur-Maijuju, Street Light from Haske to JUTH, Water Supply of Lamingo Community and others", said Atu.

The Ikos Izere is an annual festival and Comrade Atu stated that the 2020 edition started 30th December, 2019 with visits to Sights and Sounds of historical value to the Izere nation adding that on the 31st of December, a symposium was held where papers by erudite scholars in Izere nation were presented and X- rayed contemporary issues affecting the progress and development of the Izere nation.

The 2020 Izere festival witnessed participants from within and outside Nigeria.
