The Coalition of Northern Groups (CNG) has inaugurated its newly elected executive members for Niger State. The ceremony took place on Monday at the conference room of the IBB University Guest House in Shango, Minna.
Comrade Mohammed Abdullahi Mohammed, the National Director of Political Affairs for CNG, presided over the inauguration. He emphasised that the event was a crucial part of CNG's tradition to infuse the organisation with fresh ideas and innovative leadership.
CNG, known for advocating for the majority in Northern Nigeria across various sectors, requires capable individuals to fulfil its mission. Comrade Mohammed, who also chairs the committee responsible for restructuring CNG in Niger, Kwara, Kogi, and Kaduna states, highlighted that CNG is a coalition of diverse civil society organisations, youth, and women groups dedicated to protecting the rights and welfare of Northern Nigerians.
In Niger State, CNG has made significant community contributions, including medical outreach programs. Currently, they are engaging stakeholders to address youth reactivity and thuggery in the state.
Comrade Mohammed called on all stakeholders and coalition groups to support the new executive team in achieving CNG's mandate and enhancing the welfare of Niger State residents.
Responding on behalf of the new executive members, Comrade Abdullahi Musa Erena, the Niger State Coordinator of CNG, pledged their commitment to fulfilling CNG's objectives. He assured that all member organisations would be included in their efforts, emphasising the need for collective support.
Comrade Erena urged his fellow executives to be proactive and innovative, moving away from the status quo and working towards the progress of CNG in Niger State and beyond.
