These on the assembly alongside Yusuf have been Governors of Kaduna, Uba Sani; Katsina, Ummaru Dikko Radda; Jigawa, Mohammad Namadi; Zamfara, Dauda Lawan Dare; and the deputy governor of Sokoto State who represented the governor.
The governors’ assembly with the UN officers was compelled by unfolding developmental challenges bedeviling the states throughout the area and the pressing have to solicit for worldwide interventions within the area throughout important areas of the financial system.
An announcement by Sanusi Bature Dawakin-Tofa, spokesperson to Kano governor, defined that governors within the area pushed for improvement agenda for the Northwest.
The assertion emphasised that the primary joint assembly of the Northwest governors with the UN officers enabled an avalanche of alternatives to narrate points on well being, training, safety, agriculture and different salient issues overstretching the capability of the states.
Of their collective submissions, the Northwest governors hunted for accelerated interventions of the United Nations by its companies and volunteers to rescue the area from a number of considerations threatening the survival of the area.
Recall that the Northwest governors have been not too long ago hosted on a safety symposium by U.S. Institute of Peace to broaden information on strengthening battle prevention within the area.
The three days U.S. convention, attended by Governors of Kano, Katsina, Zamfara, Kaduna, Niger, Sokoto, Kebbi, Jigawa and Plateau, was designed to help the states tackle insecurity in Northern Nigeria and higher choice to mitigate the problem.
The intensive government engagement enabled the governors of a few of the troubled states deepen understanding on the dynamics of safety risk, its socioeconomic dimensions, and near-term alternatives to drive stability in Northern Nigeria.
The 2023 class of governors have, for the primary time within the political historical past of the area, collectively agreed to nurture a regional improvement agenda in key areas of human endeavours beneath the management of Katsina State governor, Ummaru Dikko Radda.
