Speaking on the plan to address challenges confronting Nigerians, Shettima said President Tinubu is deternimed to address the crisis in the North West which is further accentuated by poverty.

He said: “The President is determined to define the meaning and concept of modern governance, and the crisis we have in the northwest which is further accentuated by poverty.

“The social exclusion is also something that the President is determined to frontally confront and in the coming weeks he is going to unveil the Pulaku solution.

“Unless we want to engage in an endless war of attrition, there cannot be a military solution to the crisis in the northwest. There has to be a kinetic and non-kinetic solution.
