Governors of the northeast region urged the military to end insurgency in the region by taking advantage of the current division among the insurgents.
The Governors made the call on Tuesday at the 5th edition of the North East Governors’ Forum which held at the Taraba State Government House in Jalingo.
They also called on the Federal Government to extend the exploration of oil to the Chad Basins so as to put the northeast states on the list of oil-rich states.
