The Northern Elders Forum (NEF) has appointed Professor Abubakar Jika Jiddere as its new spokesman.

The appointment, approved by the Convener and Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Professor Ango Abdullahi (Magajin Rafin Zazzau), acknowledged Prof. Jiddere’s competence and dedication to the cause of the North.

In a statement issued on Wednesday by the Chairman of NEF’s Management Board, A. M. Al-Amin Daggash (rtd), the forum described Professor Jiddere as a distinguished academic with a track record of excellence and commitment.

Jiddere replaces Abdul-Azeez Suleiman, who now works as Director of NGOs and CSOs for the Northern Elders Forum.

In his acceptance speech, Professor Jiddere expressed gratitude for the appointment and reaffirmed his commitment to the goals of the Northern Elders Forum.

Jiddere said: “I wish to state that I have humbly accepted my new appointment and responsibility as the spokesperson of the Northern Elders Forum. The Forum is a non-partisan organisation dedicated to articulating the collective interests of Northern Nigeria while fostering unity and national development across the country. I pray for Allah’s guidance and protection throughout my tenure and beyond.”

The NEF reiterated its role as a non-partisan organisation focused on advocating for the interests of Northern Nigeria while promoting unity and development in collaboration with other regions of the country.

Meanwhile, in a separate statement issued by Abdul-Azeez Suleiman, Director, NGOs and CSOs of the NEF, the forum explained that it’s crucial to dispel any misconceptions about internal conflict within the NEF.

“We remain a united and cohesive body, bound by a common vision and unwavering commitment to the development and betterment of the Northern region.

“The appointment of a new spokesperson and the shift in role are procedural changes, not indicative of any underlying conflict or alteration of the forum’s core principles,” the NEF stated.
