The Joint Action Committee of Northern Groups (JACONG), a new socio-political group has emerged with a mandate to work with the northern elders’ forum, Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) and the northern governors to improve the quality of leadership, tackle security challenges and ensure that power returns to the north in 2015.       

The publicity secretary and a member of the Boko Haram amnesty committee, Dr. Hakeem Ahmed said the group is also working towards restoring the ideals and values of past northern leaders, apart from agitating for a president of Northern extraction.

The group however debunked the claim by the Northern Youth Forum that the present and past leaders from the north were responsible for the region’s woes, adding that it will partner with political office holders to make inputs geared towards developing the region.
