Yahaya, who made the appeal during a meeting of regional governors in Kaduna on Tuesday, April 30, emphasised that the approach is crucial for the region to overcome its ongoing security challenges.
He said: “Economic development is paramount to our region’s prosperity. We consider economic development as the long-term solution to our security challenges. In this regard, the revitalization of the New Nigeria Development Company is at the heart of our economic agenda for northern Nigeria. “Environmental sustainability is equally crucial to both our present and future. Climate change, unsustainable agricultural practices, and population growth pose significant challenges to our communities. We must adopt holistic approaches that promote environmental conservation, sustainable agriculture, and responsible resource management so as to safeguard the livelihoods of our people and preserve our natural heritage for generations yet unborn.
“Let me use this opportunity to express our deepest sympathy and unflinching support to our colleagues and the people of Kaduna, Katsina, Niger, Plateau and Zamfara States, who have been facing unprecedented security challenges recently. Let us stand together in solidarity by offering our firm commitment to supporting our fellow northern brethren during these difficult times.
Sani, who is the host governor, argued that, such synergy will reinvent the economy of Northern Nigeria and help it tackle the challenges of insecurity and poverty. “The federal government under the dynamic, focused and courageous leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR has demonstrated total commitment to winning the war against terrorism, banditry, kidnapping and other forms of criminality. It has strengthened partnership with Northern States and sustained its support to us. But challenges still remain.
