After several criticisms from various quarters about their seemingly complacent attitude to the Boko Haram crisis rocking the Northern parts of the country, the governors of the 19 Northern states are eventually taking concrete steps towards resolving the crisis.
According to a statement from the office of the Chairman of the Northern States Governors Forum, and Governor of Niger State Dr Babangida Aliyu, a 41-man panel has been put together to look into the Boko Haram issue, with the hope to “engender the restoration of the most desired peaceful co-existence, unity and development in the entire region.”
The statement, which is signed by the Secretary to the Government of Niger State and Chairman, Forum of Secretaries to the Government of Northern States, Mr. Daniel Shashere, says “The negative consequences of insecurity for freedom, liberties and the thriving economic activities within the northern states are very serious. It is in recognition and total concern for the hard-earned national peace and harmony of our great country, Nigeria, that the Forum decided at its meeting held on Thursday July 26, 2012 to constitute a high-powered committee to handle issues bordering on reconciliation, healing, peace and security within the troubled areas across the northern states of the federation.”
The Committee, which is expected to be inaugurated next Wednesday in Abuja, consists, among others, the following members:
Ambassador Zakari Ibrahim, Prof. Tijani El-Miskin, Prof. Shedrack Best, Alhaji Abubakar Tsav, Prof. Habu Galadima, AIG Hamisu Ali Jos (rtd), Gen. Martin Luther Agwai (rtd), Prof. Muhammad Akaro Mainoma, Hajiya Dije Bala, Maj. Gen.Yakubu Usman (rtd), Prof. Sani Abdulkadir, AVM Mukhtar Mohammed (rtd), Justice Umaru Abdullahi, Hajia Mariam Uwais, Aminu Ibrahim Daurawa, Group Capt.
