19 Northern speakers proffer solutions to security challenges facing region

The Northern Speakers Conference has proffered solutions to the security challenges facing the region.
The Chairman of the Northern Speakers Conference, Hon Yusuf Ibrahim Zailani had tasked the 19 Northern Speakers to proffer solutions to insecurity bedevilling the region.

He gave the charge in his welcome address at the 2nd Regional Conference Meeting in Kaduna on Tuesday.
In a statement issued by his Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Ibrahim Dahiru Danfulani, the speaker said the worsening security situation impoverishing more people in the region.
According to him, the costs of staple food items are rising due to scarcity resulting from fear of farmers to go to their farms, describing it as a serious issue.

“Our farmers are afraid of going to their farms over apprehension of being kidnapped or even killed,” he said.

Zailani said that he would have been more delighted to welcome the speakers of the Houses of Assembly of the 19 Northern states, but recent happenings in the region have diminished his joy.
“So I would simply welcome you to Kaduna for this important meeting,” he said.

The forum’s chairman, who is the Speaker, Kaduna State House of Assembly lamented that the present situation of things in the region is worrisome, saying: “Our educational growth is threatened by frequent attacks and abductions at institutions of learning.”

He, therefore, challenged the forum to come up with workable suggestions that will tackle the twin problems of poverty and insecurity bedevilling the region.
“This is a serious threat to food security and our communities which are mainly agrarian in nature. We must rise to the occasion, put on our thinking caps and proffer realistic solutions,” he charged.

Charges Northern governors to unite on security
Meanwhile, in a communique issued at the end of the meeting, the speakers charged the 19 Northern states governors to sink their political differences and unite in order to tackle the insecurity bedevilling the region.

The communique was signed by the chairman of the communique drafting committee, Hon Hamisu Ibrahim Chigari and two other members, Hon Saleh Yipmong and Hon P. M. Makonde.

The Forum also called on the relevant stakeholders to reconsider priorities in favour of the security of lives and property of our people, while noting that the provision of infrastructural facilities and other developmental projects are equally important.

The forum wants budget preparation to skew in favour of the security of lives and property and called on all relevant stakeholders to use the ongoing constitution review to provide for community policing for better security of life and property of the citizens.
The forum also supported the devolution of powers by way of decongesting the Exclusive Legislative List for Concurrent Legislative List in the ongoing review of the constitution.

The forum advocated for more empowerment schemes that will ultimately engage the youth and take them off the streets thereby enhancing the security of life and property of the people in the region and charged security experts and professionals to train vigilantes and other local security groups to effectively complement the efforts of the Nigeria Police Force and other security agencies in the country.

The forum called on the Federal Government to provide more security to the Northern part of Borno State to take over the control of Guzamala Local Government Area that is under the full control of the insurgents and the deployment of more military personnel in Abadam and Baga Local Government Areas of the state to check the nefarious activities of the insurgents.

Best way to go

According to him, the costs of staple food items are rising due to scarcity resulting from fear of farmers to go to their farms, describing it as a serious issue.

“Our farmers are afraid of going to their farms over apprehension of being kidnapped or even killed,” he said.

This administration had failed woefully, they can talks solutions but they cannot provide the solutions

The kin katakata wey dey dx kontri is immeasurable

Kai Northerners ehn

These people ehn

They should unite to protect Lives and Property Not Cow the better for them

It's not just coming together n be speaking big grammar....charge d president n d security personal to do justice... period

Now your schools are being shut, In a few years time insecurity may only worsen due to lack of education..

It's best the Northern elites curb this future pandemic now.

Damnnn niggar
Isoright

Count Benue State and Taraba state out of this Northern nonsense

fools that can not solve poverty in their region want to solve security. Abokis make me laugh

We should ban all social media, this is the best solution and I commend the government for being proactive on the matter.

We know this is happening but we don't want to see them, the images are offensive and make us look bad.

Allah will provide for those who suffer and bear their pains silently.

They better act fast. But how will they achieve this when many of them are the ones sponsoring these insurgents?

Where Is The Solution? All I Can Read Here Is Talk To Talk Talk. Advice to the governors and so on.

That one concern them. We should all go our separate ways for true peace to reign. Period!!

IS THAT SO?

Key campaign promises in 2015 and repeated in 2019 remain just that, promises. Rampaging corruption, economic decay and escalating insecurity.

Still, they promise to solve the problems they have only escalated six years in office.

But wait o
So if not for BH and bandits North would hv be peaceful while they inflict fear n hunger on southners down here? U no fit cheat God

Those in government say Nigeria can't break up, but they operate in seccionist structures.

Who will protect the cow?.

Mean while, buhari still claims that no local government is under the territory of terrorist

All talk, talk and talk.Nothing suggesting any solution to any of the problems the region have bequeathed on the failed Nigerian state.

Why cant they pass a resolution and forward to their respective HOAs to be pass into law to decentralize the security architecture of this failed union to the regions so that everyone will take care of his region?

I cant find any solution on all this crap i just read, but just leaders calling on leaders to profer solutions. My people, i believe that at this point it is safe to conclude thatbour leaders are impotent

Nothing has been said. Ban open grazing first and shutdown your borders. Don't allow your killers brothers from other nations. They joking,. poverty and illiteracy will increase exponentially.

IDanfulani:
19 Northern speakers proffer solutions to security challenges facing region

Can anything good come from the North?

The only solution is to give bandits money,kidnapers money,give farmers money,give headers money,victims money,everybody in the north money...then in the south,give south west second class positions and kill the rest.

Tell Buhari to hold back his killer herdsmen terrorists and return them back to where he brought them from (it doesn't mean Nigerians will not revenge against the terrorists fulani tribe of buhari) then the spokesman of the terrorists should be arrested if not as it is now the police, army and all armed forces are all bloody govt terrorists groups under Terrorist Buhari Govt. Thank God I broke up with that female terrorist in Nigerian Army, I hope they deploy the bitch to south east or North east I dont care

Yawn.... The North deserves all that is happening to them and more

Nigeria would ve been a beautiful peace loving well developed country without the north

North spoilt it all for every body
