Northern Governors Forum (NGF) has set up a committee to engage local vigilantes, hunters and community groups on intelligence gathering, rapid response and sustained surveillance in the region. The Chairman and Plateau Governor, Simon Lalong, said this in a statement by his spokesmen, Makut Macham on Friday in Jos.

The action was part of the resolutions of the Northern Governors during a teleconference meeting held on Thursday. Chaired by Lalong, the committee would also consult with traditional, religious and community leaders in the North, to strengthen their involvement in tackling security challenges.

A standing committee on security, headed by Kogi Governor, Yahaya Bello, was also set up to foster synergy between security agencies in the enforcement of security measures in the region. The Forum urged the Federal Government to closely look into the ECOWAS protocol on the free movement of persons, facilitating cross-border movement of herders from other countries into Nigeria.

It hailed security agencies for their efforts and called for increased synergy to further enhance their operations. The Forum sympathised with victims of various attacks and other forms of criminality in the region and also appealed to groups affected for calm.

“The state governments and the federal government are working together to forestall reoccurrence,’’ Lalong stated.

They should better wake up

Pls walk the talk. Enough of dormant leadership while your people are decimated regularly.

There is nothing NEW about that action.Same old bullshit everytime!All this audio synergy and propositions is not what is needed,only ACTION.

Leaders of the Muslim north na
so so talk, talk & no action.

All they specialize in is to chop govt
money, marry many wives & go to
Mecca 4 times a year, buy many houses in
Dubai but keep their brainwashed
subjects in perpetual poverty & begging .

Then the docile Hausa are happy to be
maltreated & murdered by their Fulani
masters; nobody should cry for them.

People are dying in numbers and all they are busy doing is setting up committees. SMH

Bold step but rather late timing. Have they been sleeping all this while.
