Imposed a dusk-to-dawn curfew on Riyom, Barkin Ladi, and Jos South local government areas after coordinated attacks killed between 86 and over 150 people, and directed security chiefs to pursue those responsible.

The curfew helped restore short-term order in the immediate aftermath, but did not prevent further large-scale intercommunal violence, including renewed killings in Bassa LGA in 2021.

Reinvigorated Operation Rainbow — a homegrown security and community-policing outfit originally established under the Jang administration — by commissioning new surveillance outposts and GIS-equipped towers, including one in Jos metropolis in June 2020.

Added surveillance capacity in Jos and other flashpoints, but civil society and community groups continued to call for a stronger relaunch of Operation Rainbow after further killings, indicating the outfit's on-the-ground impact on rural violence remained limited.

Inaugurated an 18-member committee on community policing to design a locally rooted policing framework for the state, intended to complement conventional security forces in flashpoint local governments.

The committee's recommendations fed into the state's broader security architecture, though independently verified data on the specific, measurable effect of the committee's work was not identified for this entry.

Ordered movement restrictions and containment measures in Plateau State in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, in line with the broader national public health response.

Restrictions were progressively eased through 2020 as the acute phase of the pandemic passed, in step with the national reopening timeline.

Appointed Mrs Rauta Dakok as the new Head of Service less than 48 hours before the end of his tenure, succeeding Sunday Chong Hyat, who had reached retirement age.

The appointment stood into the succeeding administration, drawing criticism as part of a wider pattern of outgoing Nigerian governors making eleventh-hour senior civil service appointments shortly before leaving office.
