Emir of Gwoza inaugurates youth summit for peace

Gwoza, a town previously declared a Boko Haram caliphate, hosted a youth summit aimed at fostering peace and development. The summit was opened by His Royal Highness Mohammed Idris Timta, the Emir of Gwoza, at the Federal College of Education, Gwoza.

The Emir praised the organizers, led by Dr. Buba Musa Tunga, and emphasized the need for the summit to serve as a foundation for ongoing youth engagement. He inaugurated Mohammed Adamu Bams as Caretaker Chairman, along with two executive members, pending future elections.

The event brought together young people, traditional leaders, and political figures from Gwoza's 13 ethnic communities and beyond. Senator Mohammed Ali Ndume (Borno South) expressed gratitude to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Governor Babagana Zulum, and security agencies for their efforts in restoring peace, which has allowed for the return of Internally Displaced Persons.

Hon. Ahmed Usman Jaha reminded the youth of the importance of discipline and active participation in leadership.
