Governors of the 19 Northern states of the Nigerian federation
are currently meeting at the Sir Kashim Ibrahim House in Kaduna to discuss the various crises plaguing
the zone.
Uppermost in their minds, according reports, is the
worsening security problem in the zone which has wasted thousands of lives,
including women and children, displaced lots of people and consumed properties
worth billions of naira.
The crisis has further polarised the zone along religious
and ethnic lines and deepened suspicion and mistrust among the various co-existing
people.
