Governor Aminu Masari of Katsina state on Saturday expressed disappointment that governors of the North West did not attend a security meeting of the sub-region held in Kaduna.
Masari, who is the Chairman of the security committee inaugurated by the Northern Governors Forum, said the governors must separate politics from the issue of security that affects the generality of the people.
The meeting attended by the Deputy Governors of Sokoto, Jigawa and Kaduna States also had in attendance Secretaries to the State Governments of the two states, and that of Katsina, as well as various consultants on security.
Masari said it was important to evolve ways of sustaining attendance not only by the governors, but also their Deputies and SSGs.
The meeting also discussed regional integration and economic cooperation among the seven states in the North West.
