The Assembly, presided over by Speaker Naanlong Daniel, unanimously passed a resolution opposing any such relocation and called on the state government to engage federal authorities, the ITF leadership, and other stakeholders to ensure the Fund remains in Jos.

In response, the ITF has firmly denied any plans to move its headquarters. In a statement, Head of Press and Public Relations, Thomas Ngor, described the relocation claims as “unfounded and misleading,” stressing that neither the agency’s management nor its governing council had considered such a move.

Ngor reaffirmed the ITF’s commitment to Plateau State, highlighting Jos as the Fund’s base since 1976, and expressed willingness to engage with stakeholders to address concerns and strengthen cooperation.
