Social justice activists have been arguing for some time that scientific societies and institutions need to address systemic sexism and racism in STEM disciplines. However, their rationale is often anything but scientific. For example, whenever percentages in faculty positions, test scores, or grant recipients in various disciplines do not match percentages of national average populations, racism or sexism is generally said to be the cause.
This is in spite of the fact that no explicit examples of racism or sexism generally accompany the statistics. Correlation, after all, is not causation. Without some underlying mechanism or independent evidence to explain a correlation of observed outcomes with population statistics, inferring racism or sexism in academia as the cause is inappropriate.
Six governors from northeastern Nigeria have resolved to set up a joint task force to check the abduction of schoolchildren that has become more rampant.
The governors’ decision was made public on Thursday in Bauchi, at the end of the 4th meeting of the forum of North-East Governors.

Governors Babagana Zulum of Borno Chairman of the forum; Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri of Adamawa, Vice Chairman; Inuwa Yahaya of Gombe, host; and Bala Mohammed of Bauchi states were in attendance. The deputy governors of Yobe and Taraba states represented their governors.
A communique issued at the end of the meeting states that “the governors have resolved to set up a Joint Task Force to ensure the protection of schools in the region in view of the disturbing problem of school abductions.”
The North-East governors’ forum says there is a need for the region to adopt community policing and sub-r
egional security outfits to tackle the current security challenges in the region.
This was contained in a 10-point communique issued shortly after their meeting held on Wednesday in Bauchi.
The communique was read by the Deputy Chairman, North-East Governors’ Forum, Adamawa State Umaru Fintiri.
“The Forum appreciates the reinforced efforts in the fight against insurgency and other forms of criminalities in the sub-region, however, it strongly feels the need for community policing and sub-regional security outfit to compliment the efforts of the Military and other Federal Security Agencies in addressing these challenges,” the governors said.
