The Coalition of Northern Groups (CNG) has announced a shift in its planned security summit earlier fixed for Abuja on December 20 and 21, citing “Ember festivities” as reason.

CNG’s Spokesperson, Abdul-Azeez Suleiman, in a statement, yesterday, said the summit would now hold on January 5, 2022.

He said: “The summit will come up with workable suggestions to the security challenges facing the region. The shift has become inevitable as our Christian brothers and sisters, who are equally stakeholders in the affairs of the region, would be occupied during that period.

“Certain issues of great relevance have emerged with the recent tour of CNG officials to Sokoto, and other places that need to be incorporated.”
