Benue State Governor, Hyacinth Alia, has urged governors in the North Central region to take stronger action against insecurity in their states.
Governor Alia made the call while speaking to journalists on Tuesday, following a recent security summit involving governors from the region.
He said governors must wake up to the security challenges confronting their respective states and work towards finding lasting solutions.
Alia also called for efforts to identify those responsible for attacks in the region and determine the reasons behind the violence.
The Benue governor further expressed concern over what he described as fragmented responses by security agencies, saying there is a need for better coordination in tackling insecurity in the region.
