A top presidency source  said that the meeting was urgently summoned to discuss measures that would lead to lasting solution to the humanitarian crisis in zone.

The source added that the other military chiefs couldn’t make it to the meeting because they were not in town at the moment.

It will be recalled that the region was ravaged by Boko Haram insurgency until it was liberated by the efforts of the Nigerian armed forces.

Unfortunately, the insurgency left many people dead and homeless, prompting some humanitarian crisis which the government is battling to solve.
