Northern govs vow to tackle Boko Haram violence
The governors of the 19 northern states on Thursday in Kaduna said they have resolved to deal decisively with the problem of insecurity posed by the militant Islamic sect, the Boko Haram in the region.
The governors, who met at the General Hassan Usman Katsina State House, Kaduna, amid very tight security provided by all the security agencies, said though they were ready for dialogue with moderate people, they would no longer condone criminality in the region.
The Chairman of the Northern States Governors’ Forum, Dr. Babangida Aliyu of Niger State, who read the communiqué at the end of the over six-hour meeting, stated that the northern governors had decided to adopt a practical and integrated regional approach towards combating the menace of the Boko Haram and other criminal elements in the region.
