Tinubu reaffirms commitment to peace, development across zones ‎ (Page 304)

By Muhyideen Jimoh
‎
‎President Bola Tinubu has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to strengthening social cohesion, promoting peace, and addressing developmental challenges across Nigeria’s six geopolitical zones.
‎
‎The President gave the assurance on Monday at the State House, Abuja, during a meeting with members of the Presidential Community Engagement Team from the various zones.
‎
‎Speaking after the meeting, Dr Abiodun Essiet, Senior Special Assistant (SSA) to the President on Community Engagement (North Central), said discussions focused on finding lasting solutions to insecurity in the region.
‎
‎“For the North Central region, I was able to share with the President the level of insecurity in our region and concerns from our communities on issues of land grabbing and so on.
‎
‎“Mr President has promised to strengthen peace structures and make sure our communities are safe,” she said.
‎
‎Essiet added that the team drew the President’s attention to the poor state of roads between Kogi and Kwara States, which had worsened insecurity and enabled bandit activities in some ungoverned forest areas.
‎
‎Abdullahi Tanko Yakasai, SSA to the President on Community Engagement (North West), raised concerns about the impact of illegal mining on insecurity in the region.
‎
‎He said efforts were ongoing to tackle the problem of out-of-school children by enrolling vulnerable pupils into primary schools and providing educational materials in the North West.
‎
‎“For the North West region, we highlighted to Mr President the level of out-of-school children. Through my office, we have been able to enrol these young, vulnerable children into primary schools.
‎
‎“We give them exercise books, uniforms, and all they require so they can go back to school,” he said.
‎
‎Chioma Nweze, SSA to the President on Community Engagement (South East), said her region had established a Citizens’ Assembly to bring the President’s policies closer to the grassroots and promote communication between citizens and the Federal Government.
‎
‎She commended the President for what she described as renewed federal presence in the South East through ongoing road construction projects and the appointment of key ministers from the region.
‎
‎Moremi Ojudu, SSA to the President on Community Engagement (South West), described the meeting as “insightful and inspiring,” noting that the President emphasized the importance of National Identification Number (NIN) registration to strengthen Nigeria’s data systems.
‎
‎“The President said registration of the NIN is very paramount. It is also important to nurture our people from cradle to grave. The President has a strong passion for grassroots community,” she said.
‎
‎Ojudu said the President tasked the team to deepen awareness of his Renewed Hope Agenda and sustain peacebuilding efforts nationwide.
‎
‎She added that the team would intensify advocacy visits to traditional rulers, youth leaders, and other stakeholders to promote national unity and safeguard Nigeria’s collective progress.
‎
‎The Presidential Community Engagement Team comprises representatives from all six geopolitical zones and was established to bring the government closer to the people under the Renewed Hope Agenda.(NAN)(www.nannews.ng)
