Northern Governors Convene Urgent Meeting in Kaduna to Address Escalating Terror Attacks
In response to the escalating terror attacks plaguing Northern Nigeria, the Northern Governors’ Forum is set to hold a high-stakes meeting today in Kaduna. The gathering aims to formulate a unified strategy to combat the persistent insecurity that has disrupted lives and livelihoods across the region.
The meeting will bring together governors from the 19 northern states, traditional rulers, and key security stakeholders, including the Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa. This collaborative approach underscores the urgency and gravity of the security challenges facing the region.
Governor Inuwa Yahaya of Gombe State, who chairs the Northern Governors’ Forum, emphasized the need for a coordinated response. “Our people are living in fear. It’s imperative that we come together to devise actionable solutions to restore peace and stability,” he stated.
The agenda is expected to cover a range of issues, including intelligence sharing, community engagement, and the deployment of security forces to vulnerable areas. Traditional leaders, such as the Sultan of Sokoto and the Shehu of Borno, are anticipated to provide insights into grassroots-level challenges and potential solutions.
This meeting follows a series of attacks attributed to insurgent groups, which have resulted in significant casualties and displacement of residents. The governors aim to present a united front and work collaboratively with federal authorities to address the root causes of terrorism and implement sustainable security measures.
As the region grapples with these challenges, the outcomes of today’s meeting are eagerly awaited by citizens who hope for a tangible shift towards peace and security.
