Former Army Chief Dambazau |
In a move that highlights the rising focus on national security and unity, the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) has appointed former Army Chief, Lt. Gen. Abdulrahman Dambazau (rtd), and ex-Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Yayale Ahmed, to chair two pivotal committees. Dambazau will lead the charge on security, while Yayale Ahmed will oversee efforts towards fostering unity.
With Nigeria currently grappling with diverse challenges, these appointments couldn’t be more timely. The ACF, as a prominent body within northern Nigeria, has recognized the need for experienced leadership to guide discussions on national issues, particularly concerning safety and cohesion.
Dambazau’s background as a former Army chief brings seasoned military insight to the table, a crucial element as Nigeria battles internal security threats. On the other hand, Yayale’s expertise in governance and public service makes him the ideal figure to address unity, a theme that's more relevant than ever in a time of growing regional and ethnic tensions.
The committee heads have been tasked with developing strategies that will not only protect lives but also promote national harmony. It’s clear that the ACF’s leadership is gearing up for a hands-on approach, ensuring that their recommendations translate into actionable policies. The discussions that emerge from these committees will likely shape much of the dialogue on how Nigeria can achieve long-term stability.
With these respected figures at the helm, hopes are high that their combined expertise will bring about meaningful, practical outcomes for Nigeria’s future.
