…Seek United Action Against Poverty, Social Vices
Northern traditional rulers have endorsed ongoing federal efforts to tackle insecurity, calling for stronger collaboration among governments, traditional institutions, religious leaders and communities to address the social and economic conditions driving instability across the region.
The call was made at the 8th Executive Committee Meeting of the Northern Traditional Rulers’ Council held in Dutse, Jigawa State, where Umar Namadi, Governor of Jigawa State, said sustainable peace in Northern Nigeria can only be achieved through a collective approach that combines military action with social and economic interventions.
Governor Namadi commended the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for intensifying military operations, improving intelligence gathering and strengthening coordination among security agencies in the fight against terrorism, banditry and other violent crimes affecting parts of the country.
Speaking at the meeting themed “Peace, Unity and Development of the North,” the governor said insecurity remains one of the greatest obstacles to development in the region and requires the active participation of governments, traditional rulers, religious leaders and citizens.
