DogaraSpeaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, has expressed concern over renewed attacks by Boko Haram insurgents in the North East.

In a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Public Affairs, Turaki Hassan, Dogara said that he was deeply worried over the recent spate of killings of innocent citizens by the insurgents.

He expressed hope that with the ongoing reorganisation of the security agencies by President Muhammadu Buhari, the insurgents would be stamped out.

He said that already, a motion calling on the Federal Government to convene an international donor conference for the rebuilding of the region has been drafted and will be considered by the House after the recess.

The Speaker called on governors of the region to lead the campaign for the rebuilding of the North East.
