The meeting, convened by the Chairman of the Forum, who is also the governor of Sokoto state, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal is scheduled to hold virtually on Thursday, January 19, 2023.
“The discussion promises to foster participation and dialogue between various stakeholders including governments and civil society organizations to come out with a solution to the lingering issue,” the statement reads.
