The Northern States Governors Forum (NSGF) has raised the alarm over the devastating impact of insecurity on agricultural activities in the region, warning that the situation is exacerbating food prices and economic challenges nationwide.
Chairman of the forum and Governor of Gombe State, Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya, made the declaration on Monday while receiving a comprehensive report from the Coalition of Northern Groups (CNG) on the security situation in the region.
“The insecurity in Northern Nigeria is a major concern for us as governors. This region, which has the largest portion of the country’s population and is rich in mineral resources and fertile land, plays a crucial role in Nigeria’s food security,” Governor Yahaya said.
