The problem
Plateau entered the Fourth Republic with unresolved indigene–settler, land and religious tensions in Jos and the southern zone.
What was done
The conflict escalated sharply during the term, producing mass-casualty attacks in 2001 and 2004 and triggering the 2004 federal state of emergency; it was not resolved and recurred under later administrations.
