NEWS SUMMARY: NORTHERN GOVERNORS ON BOKO HARAM INSURGENCY

   
 
    The Northern Nigeria governors at the USA investment forum held at Sheraton hotel at Abuja came to a stand that the Boko Haram insurgency will end in 3 months. The note that led to this statement was delivered by the Chairman of the Northern Governors Forum, Babangida Aliyu (Niger state). In summary, according to him; "Boko Haram should be eliminated at the maximum of three months. That is the expectation of the northern states from the Federal government and the international community". Let's watch and see how this turns out since our governors have indirectly told us that they are going to rest, or probably jittery(if you know what I mean).
“The current challenges facing our country demonstrates the importance of working together across geo-political zones, political party lines, and ethnic-religious affinities to defeat our common enemies – poverty and corruption, which, unfortunately, continue to undermine our efforts in taking our rightful place as the giant of Africa. We can no longer remain the sleeping giant. And the time for a paradigm shift is certainly now.
“We are under no illusions that achieving this will be easy, especially in a fast changing information age. We also believe that progress in any form comes with a price. Expectedly, as life gets better it certainly gets tougher, with emerging challenges and pressures that sometimes threaten to uproot communities and families from their established ways of life. We, however, believe we have a shared responsibility and morality as Governors of the Northern States to pursue programmes and policies that promote social justice, peace and security, which is the fundamental essence of governance.”
