The Northern States Governors’ Forum has created a joint financial institution worth six billion naira to serve as a vehicle for the region’s economic recovery and development.
Mr Shettima said the fund expected to be contributed by all the 19 northern governors of the region had so far realised 650 million naira. “The forum has also taken pragmatic initiatives to resuscitate the New Nigeria Development Company to restore it to its position as the business and economic live-wire of the region,’’ he said.
“The NNDC has commenced negotiations with the Department of Petroleum Resources to venture into oil and gas exploration in the Northern region,’’ Mr Shettima said. Mr Shettima said the NSGF had incorporated criminal offences into the penal code of Northern Nigeria to address the increasing security challenges in the region.
“We appeal to the federal government to re-strategise and come up with measures that could deal with the situation more permanently. “ “It is gratifying to note that the federal government has heeded our call, which culminated in the setting up of the Marwa Committee against drug abuse.
We pray it gets down to the grassroots and not end up in elites pockets
