Northern Governors vows to get justice for Kaduna bomb victims

By Achadu Gabriel, Kaduna

The 19 Northern Governors’ forum (NGF), has promised to pursue justice for the victims and survivors of Kaduna drone bombings which claimed over 100 lives.

The forum Chairman and Governor of Gombe State, Muhammad Inuwa Yahaya made the comment on Friday at the inaugural meeting of the forum in Kaduna.

According to him, FG must ensure an investigation into the incident is conducted so as to prevent future reoccurrence in the country.

He commended the efforts of the federal government for the quick response taken since the incident happened.

Governor Inuwa also said a lot needs to be done by the federal government to bring an end to the menace of kidnappings, banditry, and terrorism in the region.

“Security and Development are connected, and we must address them collectively. Without security, there would be no development because investors can only invest in an environment where their resources are secured,” he said.

In his remarks, Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State said the northern region has been grappling with challenges of insecurity.

According to him, their human development indices have been declining.

“For the Northern Governors Forum to remain relevant, we must forge unity among our people and collaborate on issues of development. We must fashion a Marshal Plan for the development of the North.” he said

He added that diversity and ethno-religious unity remain the foundation for the advancement of the ideals of regional peace, security, and development in the North.

“Northern Governors must work together towards empowering the people as key production forces for the growth of the North,” he said.

The governors also hold a minute silence for the victims of the T/Biri bombings.
