The Northern States Governors’ Forum and the Northern Traditional Leaders Council are currently holding an emergency meeting at Sir Kashim Ibrahim House in Kaduna as insecurity worsens across the region.
The high-level session is examining the recent surge in banditry, terrorism, kidnapping, and farmer-herder clashes, which have claimed hundreds of lives and displaced thousands of residents in recent months.
The closed-door meeting is chaired by the Forum’s chairman and Gombe State Governor, Muhammad Inuwa Yahaya, alongside the Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar III, who is leading the traditional rulers’ delegation. Discussions are said to be focused almost entirely on the escalating security crisis in Northern Nigeria.
