According to Fayemi, the forum will work hard to identify and tackle the major causes of the security problems and intensify social investment programme targeted at addressing social inequality and poverty in the country.

He thanked President Muhammadu Buhari for working closely with the Katsina State government in ensuring the release of the schoolchildren by their abductors.

The Ekiti State governor promised that members of the NGF would work together to return the country to the path of peace, progress, development, and prosperity.

On December 11, a group of bandits stormed the Government Science Secondary School in Ƙankara, a local government area in Katsina.

The attack which was carried out in the night left hundreds of students missing, according to authorities in the state.

Following an outcry that trailed the incidents, a total of 344 schoolboys were released on Thursday last week after spending six nights in captivity.

They were transported from Tsafe in Zamfara to Katsina where they were reunited with their parents after being examined for possible medical attention.

The Boko Haram terrorist group, which has carried out a series of attacks in the North East for more than a decade, had claimed responsibility for the abduction.
