The Southern Senators Forum (SSF), has commended the Southern Governors Forum (SGF) for outrightly taking a firm position on burning national issues, including restructuring and banning open grazing of cattle in Southern part of the country, among other demands.
The lawmakers said the decision was a welcome development against the backdrop of growing insecurity, which has continue to take a toll on the country and subjecting innocent Nigerians to kidnapping and killing.
SSF submitted that such deft and unanimous policy would help in reining in those hiding under cattle grazing to unleash terror of kidnapping and killing on the residents of the region.
