Amid mounting security and escalating violence across several parts of the country, the 36 state governors, under the auspices of the Nigeria Governors Forum, NGF, have met with the Chief of Defence Staff, CDS, General Christopher Musa.
The meeting, held in Abuja, aimed to chart a path towards curbing the rising wave of killings and large-scale destruction of property in the states such as Plateau, Benue, Niger and others.
Governors present at the meeting included AbdulRahman Abdulrazaq of Kwara, Hope Uzodinma of Imo, Dauda Lawal of Zamfara, Seyi Makinde of Oyo, Dapo Abiodun of Ogun, Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa, and Douye Diri of Bayelsa.
The meeting is seen as strategic move ahead of the scheduled National Economic Council (NEC) meeting slated for today at the Presidential Villa, where broader security and governance issues are expected to take centre stage.
