The 36 governors of the country will hold an emergency
meeting with the house of assembly speakers on Friday.
Asishana Bayo Okauru, director-general of the Nigeria
Governors Forum (NGF), said the meeting is aimed at finding solutions to issues
of national importance.
Okauru said the meeting would be held at Frazier Suites in
the Central Business District (CBD) in the federal capital territory (FCT).
She said Kayode Fayemi, Ekiti governor and chairman of the
forum, asked his colleagues “to promptly facilitate and enable the Speakers in
their various states to attend the meeting”.
“It is expected that
executive-legislature harmony will occupy the minds of the 72 people in
attendance, to achieve rapid problem solving, just as crucial matters like the
security of life and property in Nigeria as a whole, will feature,” the
director-general said.
“We seek Your Excellencies’ indulgence to kindly facilitate
the participation of the Hon. Speaker of your State House of Assembly at this
important emergency meeting.”
In recent times, there has been an increase in incidents of
banditry and insurgency in the country.
Last week, a train was attacked around the Kateri-Rijana
area of Kaduna state, with several persons killed and many still missing.
