North is Gradually Becoming Nigeria’s Problem’- ACF

Vice chairman, Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) Board of Trustees (BoT), Senator Ladan Shuni, has declared that most of the problems bedeviling Nigeria are from the North.

Shuni, who said this at the opening of the BoT meeting, called to examine the Jos crisis and other forms of problem emerging from the area, added that most of the problems bedeviling the north have not been helped by the attitudes of leaders in the area who have failed to halt the trend.

He said Northern leaders must take responsibility for all the problems of the north, like deteriorating quality of education and begging and try to find ways of redressing it, adding that if the problems persist, the North faces a bleak and uncertain future.
According to him, the North has to create an enabling environment where quality policies and programmes on socio-economic issue would be implemented for the development of the area.

“There are a lot of crises in the North; there have been Boko Haram, Kala kato, and the present Jos crisis. The North is becoming the problem of the country and it is the North that should come together and solve the problem.”
