The Plateau community has been without a multipurpose gathering space for three decades, leaving the youth and older populace facing difficulties and frustrations when organising events.
Every community dreams of a standard hall where events can be held. These events serve as unifying factors for members of the society.
The lack of available land and financing has made acquiring a town hall a daunting task for the Rayfield community. John Choji, a former leader of the Rayfield community, expressed disappointment, stating: “We made efforts to secure land and build our hall, but financial constraints prevented us from achieving our goal. However, there was a glimmer of hope when our senator, Istifanus I.D Gyang, who also resides in Rayfield, promised to address the longstanding issue of our community hall.
According to a District Head in Rayfield who wants to be anonymous, “I was among those called upon by the senator to identify possible land for our hall, but we were not consulted nor informed when the decision was made to move the project elsewhere.” A community leader in Rayfield field who also chose anonymity said: “I was in the initial plan for the downhill bid but when the decision of moving the project to another community came, nobody sought my consent or that of the Rayfield Chairman”.
The establishment of the youth centre hall at Diye has been hailed as a significant achievement by Onesimus Datuhung, Vice President of the National Berom Association.
