Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, has called for a regional security strategy to tackle the rising wave of insecurity across the North-Central geopolitical zone. He made the call while speaking as a panellist at the 2026 North-Central Security Summit in Makurdi, Benue State.

The summit, organised by the Ministry of Defence, brought together governors, security chiefs, community leaders and other stakeholders from across the North Central geopolitical zone to discuss measures to address insecurity in the region. Benue State Governor, Hyacinth Alia, also spoke at the summit, calling for a community-centred approach to tackling insecurity.

Alia said traditional rulers, border communities and grassroots intelligence networks must be incorporated into security strategies to effectively confront emerging threats. According to Daily Post Nigeria, Alia stressed that collaboration should go beyond rhetoric and translate into practical measures involving people at the grassroots.
