To find lasting solution to the growing insecurity in Northern Nigeria, a security summit is set to hold in Birnin Kebbi, Kebbi State, on November 10, 2025.
The summit, which will be chaired by the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III, and the former Chief of Army Staff and former minister of interior, Lt. General Abdulrahman Bello Dambazau (Rtd), will bring together northern governors, security experts and other critical stakeholders.
The Chairman of the Arewa Broadcast Media Practitioners Forum, Alhaji Yelwa said the summit would chart ways out of the escalating security situation in the region.
He said as insecurity continues to threaten peace, development, and stability across Nigeria, particularly in the northern region, the forum and the State Government have concluded plans to host the 2025 Broadcast Media Security Summit.
“It seeks to provide a robust platform for dialogue, collaboration, and collective action among stakeholders committed to restoring peace and strengthening national cohesion,” he said.
Yelwa explained that there was a deep concern over the devastating impact of insecurity on lives, livelihoods, and infrastructure across the North, stressing that previous interventions have yielded only minimal and unsustainable outcomes.
“The 2025 summit will bring together broadcasters, policymakers, security professionals, and development partners to develop practical communication strategies capable of enhancing public trust, countering violent extremism, and supporting ongoing national security reforms,” he said.
