The meeting is holding about a week after armed persons attacked the convoy of the Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum, in Baga, a community with a history of Boko Haram attacks.
Mr Zulum has, however, said he believes the attack was carried out by soldiers.
The attack on the governor occurred about a day after at least one person was killed in Boko Haram attacks on Maiduguri.
Apart from the Boko Haram insurgency in Borno and neighbouring states, armed bandits are also attacking northwestern states randomly, killing and kidnapping dozens of people every month.
