In response to the escalating security crisis in the region, the 19 Northern governors have scheduled an emergency meeting for November 29, 2025, to be held in Kaduna State.
The planned meeting is coming on the heels of a parley by the South-West governors, which took place at the Oyo State Governor’s Office in Ibadan, on Monday.
The South-West governors resolved that it was time for the creation of state police to address the growing incidents of bandit attacks.
The Senior Special Assistant to Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State, Peter Ahemba, confirmed Saturday’s meeting by the Northern governors in Lafia, the state capital, on Monday, as concerns spiked over the closure of schools by the authorities.
