The Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF), which is the umbrella body for the state governors, said the initiative would be launched today in Abuja. NGF’s head of public affairs, Abdulrazaque Bello-Barkindo, said an interactive platform would hold as soon as the launch is over. He said the move “would support decision-making on security at the national level through the National Economic Council. “The initiative would also promote networking and synergy among state and non-state actors to enhance peace and inclusive security,” he noted.
