Insecurity: Governors to Hold Emergency Meeting Wednesday
Nigeria’s 36 governors have summoned an emergency meeting to discuss the rising wave of insecurity across the states.
When asked whether the governors would, like the National Assembly, call for the sack of the service chiefs, the governor said, “Let’s not preempt the meeting. Let us meet first as a body of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum. The statement further said that “Not unexpectedly, in line with the security and policing swamp that the country has found itself, the attack on Borno State Governor, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum, will be tabled for discussion”.
He added, “That too will come under the governors’ searchlight. Tomorrow’s meeting will commence at 2pm prompt but the virtual platform will be open to join an hour earlier.” According to the statement, “Apart from security and education, the permanent items on the Teleconferences since the pandemic, health and the economy will also make it to the table.
