Governors from the
South-south/South-east geo-political zones will meet on August 27, 2017 at the
Government House, Port Harcourt, Rivers State at 7p.m.
Interim Chairman of the
South-south/South-east Governors’ Forum and Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Udom
Emmanuel, made the announcement yesterday.
Emmanuel, in a statement, said
the meeting would provide another avenue for deliberation between the governors
of the states in the regions on issues of regional and national interest, with
a view to solidifying the ties that bind the people of the states together.
Emmanuel added that the meeting
would also explore areas of economic, socio-cultural and political co-operation
between the states to the overall benefit of the citizens and residents of the
regions.
“I hereby extend an invitation to
all the governors in the two regions to attend the meeting as a follow up to
the successful inaugural meeting held in Enugu on July 9, 2017,” he said.
Recall that the
governors met on Sunday July 9.
They discussed restructuring and
re-echoed calls for the implementation of the 2014 national conference
resolutions, among others.
The also said it was regrettable
that the entire South-East has only 5 percent allocation out of the entire
power generated in the country.
