Bashir added that the discussion was organised to find lasting solutions to insecurity problems in the northern part of Nigeria.
According to him, it was with the support of President Bola Tinubu’s government.
He said, “Attended a high-level two-day roundtable discussion organized by the Coalition of Northern Groups (CNG) with the backing of President @officialABAT through the Ministry of Defence and ONSA.

Governors from the northern region, traditional rulers, and other stakeholders participated in the event.”
