Governors in the northern part of Nigeria will meet in Kaduna on Monday to discuss the current security situation in the north-east and the forth coming National Conference.

The meeting of the Northern State Governors’ Forum (NSGF) scheduled to hold in Kaduna will look at other issues of interest to the region to promote peace and unity amongst its people and look at strategies that could curb the insurgency in the north-east.

According to a statement by the Forum Chairman and Governor of Niger State, Muazu Aliyu, the governors will also discuss the New Nigeria Development Company (NNDC), the Sir Ahmadu Bello Memorial Foundation (SABMF) and donations made to the dependents of security personnel who lost their lives during the Ombatse killings in Nasarawa State last year.

Other regions in Nigeria have started holding meetings ahead of the proposed National Conference that will hold in March to choose delegates to the conference and finalise issues that concern them that would be presented at the conference.

Leaders of six Yoruba states met last week to discuss the modalities of the conference.

The conference modalities specified a three-month period for the conference which many Nigerians had clamoured for.
