Middle Belt Leaders Meet Tinubu, Pledge Support for Security and Regional Development
Renewed engagement between the Federal Government and Middle Belt leaders has placed regional security, community stability and development at the centre of discussions in Abuja.
Abuja, Nigeria — Security concerns and the need for stronger regional development have featured prominently in discussions between President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and a delegation of leaders from Nigeria’s Middle Belt.
The meeting, held at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, provided an opportunity for the delegation to raise concerns affecting communities across the region and discuss ways of strengthening cooperation with the Federal Government.
Former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, who addressed journalists after the engagement, said the visit also reflected the delegation’s support for the Tinubu administration.
Beyond political solidarity, the discussions focused on the importance of sustaining security interventions, encouraging peaceful relations among communities and creating conditions that would support development across the Middle Belt.
Dogara expressed optimism that continued government action would help improve stability in affected areas and allow residents to live without persistent fear of insecurity.
The engagement comes amid continuing calls for stronger collaboration between government institutions and regional stakeholders to address security challenges and promote lasting peace in communities across Nigeria.
