The 19 northern state governors are meeting on Monday morning in Kaduna state, for the first meeting of the group in 2017 over security issues in the region.
The Governor of Borno state, Kashim Shettima, who also doubles as the Chairman of the Northern Governors Forum, is expected to preside over the meeting.
The meeting which would be holding at the Government House in Kaduna, would involve northern elders and traditional rulers who would be giving a briefing on the security situation across the northern states.
Elder statesman, Maitama Sule, would be in attendance and will be delivering a keynote address on the need for diversification on the economy of the northern state against the backdrop of the economic recession.
The northern states have faced tremendous security challenges since July 2009.
