Governors of the South-east have rejected the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar’s methodology of community policing.
The governors have, therefore, asked the five state Houses of Assembly to commence enactment of state security laws that will give legal backing to the establishment of a regional security outfit in line with its joint security programme for the zone.
“In the circumstance, we cannot begin implementation of it until the programme reflects our earlier agreement. The South East Governors and their leaders request the IGP to revert to our initial agreement reached on community policing at Enugu. On the coronavirus pandemic, the governors said they will engage the Nigeria Center for Disease Control to scale up testing of coronavirus in Southeast states.
“The meeting agreed to hold a virtual meeting with the Group MD of NNPC on the issue of linking our south-east capitals with gas pipeline alongside with the pipeline programme of the federal government which is running from Imo to Lagos State.
