Winning Peace in Plateau: Oyinlola’s Civil-Military Reforms and Cantonment Revival
As his tenure ends on July 17, 2026, Plateau State reflects on Major General Folusho Oyinlola’s impact. He replaced Operation Safe Haven with a community-centred peace strategy built on town halls, stakeholder dialogue and proactive conflict resolution. Under his watch, bans on illegal mining, underage and night grazing, and livestock poisoning eased inter-communal tensions. Farmers, herders and local leaders became partners in security rather than bystanders. At Maxwell Kobe Cantonment, he led a full infrastructure overhaul. Barracks were renovated, utilities restored and family housing upgraded. This boost in troop welfare and morale has set a new benchmark for military command in the Middle Belt.
