  "summary": "The Forum of Former Deputy Governors of Nigeria (FFDGN) has called for the establishment of an effective reintegration programme for ex-convicts and improved teachers' remuneration to strengthen their role in shaping future generations. Additionally, the forum urged governments at all levels to promote inclusive governance by reserving executive positions and legislative seats for women, youths, and marginalised groups. The recommendations were made at the forum's fifth national conference, held in Abuja, and chaired by former Katsina State Governor, Aminu Bello Masari, with Ifeanyi Okowa as co-chairman.",
