Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State has arrived in the United States of America for a high-powered symposium organized by the United States Institute of Peace.

The three days conference, attended by Governors of Kano, Katsina, Zamfara, Kaduna, Niger, Sokoto, Kebbi, Jigawa, Benue, and Plateau states, was designed to address insecurity in Northern Nigeria and better option to mitigate the challenge.

In a statement by the Director General of the Media and Publicity, Kano Government House, Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, stated that the intensive executive engagement will enable the Governors of some of the troubled states deep understanding of the dynamics of security threats, its socio-economic dimensions, and near-term opportunities to drive stability in Northern Nigeria.

The US Institute of Peace would also broaden knowledge on strengthening conflict prevention in the region, through non-violent strategies for engaging the armed groups as alternative for conflict resolution.

The strategic engagement being anchored under the tutelage of Dr. Joseph Sany, Vice President, Africa Center for US Institute of Peace, will also focus on policy coordination and management of peace and stability in Nigeria.

The symposium which ends April 25, 2024, is part of the ongoing efforts of the northern Governors especially those from Northwest to set a regional development agenda.

okoo

Why not in Iran or Saudi Arabia?

Hahaha

Clowns who should be converging in the middle of Sambisa are in the U.S for a jamboree while deceiving their poor followers.

They should come and tell us when ever any of the Western politicians come to Nigeria to come and have retreats.

I guess the issue they want to discuss about is in USA.

Shame on them

The same US who invited them is not interested in any country being in peace. Or how would their arms manufacturing industry fair if there's peace??

Onewazobia:
Yet they continue sending palliative to you, year in year out, gives your students scholarship, you with a lot of technology aids, vaccine for your children etc.

I wonder why they didn't consider Iran, Saudi, Qatar or even Palestin since we are talking about security. You better came down b4 hate kill YOU

Unintelligent balderdash.

Useless animals going to USA wey humans like Una don make great, and safe to hold meetings on Una self inflicted issues at home. What is wrong with Blackman

The US is a curse to the world, because they thrive best in international relations when nations are embroiled in wars and interethnic conflicts.
If wars cease in developing countries, there's no way the American weapons manufacturing sector would thrive.
It would ultimately collapse.

Or Gaza lol

Is the insecurity ravaging the US our concern? So why not convene the security summit in one of the affected northern states to reinforce the outcome of the deliberations? Misuse of public funds.

I never hear your complain when Tinubu or Buhari would go for extended medical tourism abroad instead of patronizing Nigerian doctors.

You are an hypocrite my friend.

COMRADES, the northern governors should also include working against tinubu in 2027 for peace to reign in their respective region and Nigeria at large

How come I have this strange feeling that they have a different agenda.

Which is?
2027 election

I expected this meeting to be held in either Iran, Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Kuwait or Yemen so that Christian infidels won't know their secret

Ok

Why not meet in Shiroro local government, Niger state.

So no where for Nigeria good for this gathering?

Dem for go Gaza...

Deceivers that has gone to keep their loots.

Nigerians and their worship for anything foreign, i still want to understand why the conference was in Washington on tax payers money

North that used to be peaceful has become something else.
Na wa

What a people!

This country needs help. There is no space in the 36 States for the governor's to hold their meeting.



Northern governor's are fond of this shenanigan, whenever you have a Southern President at the helms of affairs, they go ahead and conspire with the Western politicians towards sabotaging the Nigerian state.

They did the same thing during GEJ government. I hope the Nigerian President is taking notes...

Hmmmn.

CodeTemplar:

If they sponsor such engagement, why not?

😂 😝

They should have held it in Gaza. Rubbish

Idiots

The same US or west they detest.

U won't see them in Iran, Iraq or their new found friend Russia

Hypocrisy. Problem dey Sambisa, you dey go find solution for California.

No conference is needed. The political heavy weights in the North are behind the insecurity, or at least, they don't want it to end. They use it as a political bargain chip, to promote Fulani hegemony via land grabbing, and fan the flame of religious intolerance, which perpetuates their power.
If they want insecurity to stop, they know what to do.
