I have said it a long time ago that ECOWAS fallout will badly affect our bilateral relationship with Niger Republic involving security pacts, trade, etc. it’s imperative that the northern governors should initiate a new bilateral dialogue to address porous borders and spillovers. NWDC should lead multi-state task forces for deradicalization, amnesty-with-conditions where feasible, and anti-cattle rustling efforts. ACF and NEF should mobilize for political pressure on federal government for better border security, intelligence sharing, and resource allocation. Traditional rulers should revive conflict resolution mechanisms, counter bandit propaganda, and promote community policing hybrids. Everybody should get to work!!
