Governor Zulum, who is the Chairman of the North-East Governors’ Forum, commended the President for his commitment to “fostering peace and stability within the sub-region.”
He said, “We thank you for fostering peace and stability within the sub-region and continuing with the initiative of your predecessor in sustaining the fight against insurgency,” and assured Tinubu of the governors’ support for his administration’s plan on “training of manpower and providing technology” to combat insecurity.
Zulum added, “We are fully aligning with Mr. President’s good initiative of training of manpower and providing technology with a view to reversing the ugly trend in the forest, thereby reducing the insurgency and promoting agricultural development in alignment with the renewed hope agenda on food security.”
In response, President Tinubu “acknowledged the governors’ concerns and assured them of his administration’s commitment” to addressing the region’s needs.
