The North Central Citizens Council (NCCC) has hailed the Coalition of Northern Groups’ (CNG) positive efforts towards restoring peace and ensuring communal harmony among communities in northern Nigeria.

NCCC described the Coalition of Northern Groups as the single consistent voice that speaks for the preservation of the interest of the ordinary northerner.

Secretary General of the council, Mayomi Bidemi, made this known in Lokoja on Saturday after NCCC stakeholders meeting to review activities of civil society organizations and other groups in the northern part of Nigeria.

She described CNG’s peace building programmes and progressive initiatives for conflict resolution the north and Nigeria as unparalleled in recent history.

She highlighted the numerous achievements that stand the CNG out to include preaching national unity, fight against proliferation of illicit drugs and drug abuse in the North, which eventually led to the ban of the addictive codeine syrup that was ravaging northern communities and households.

“The most recent fight and campaign against insecurity was also first agitated for by the Nastura Ashir Sheriff-led CNG, organized the massive #EndInsecurityNow protests across the nineteen northern states simultaneously with the southern-based #EndSARS protests.

“And when the protests were hijacked by hoodlums and the peace of the nation came under threat, CNG was also the first group in Nigeria to condemn the act and immediately called on all members to discontinue the northern version of the protests,” she recounted.

Comrade Mohammed Eneji, the Coordinator of NCCC, noted that these heroic acts by the youth in the North has made the region enjoy peace during and after the protests which rocked the nation.

“The CNG has shown leadership, capacity and has clearly shown that they are directly in touch with the masses and common man on the streets of northern Nigeria and deserves a lot of commendation from every well meaning Nigerians who mean well for this nation,” he said.
