The North-East Governors Forum has reiterated its commitment towards ending the decade-old insecurity in the region.
Chairman of the Forum and Borno state Governor Babagana Zulum made the pledge at the opening of the sixth meeting of the Forum in Damaturu, Yobe state.
He also assured that the Forum would do everything possible to see that people go about their businesses unhindered in the region, adding that through the strategic collaboration between the Forum and the military, thousands of insurgents had laid their arms and surrendered to the military.
Zulum however called on the troops and other sister agencies to sustain the onslaught and ensure that they degrade the insurgents’ enclaves and end the war once and for all.
In his remarks, Governor Mai Mala Buni of Yobe state said the speedy recovery of the region depends on the resuscitation of the Lake Chad, implementation of the Great Green Wall project and actualising the Mambila Hydro Power project.
He added the Yobe state Government had focused on revitalising the education sector, one of the key areas for post-insurgency socio-economic rejuvenation.
