On Tuesday, members of the South-West Governors Forum gathered in Lagos, Nigeria, to address insecurity, investment, and other regional challenges.
Three days after gunmen assaulted a prison in Ibadan and released prisoners, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu hosted his colleagues at the State House.
The meeting, which began at 4:30 p.m. and was held behind closed doors, was attended by five Governors of member states.
Mr. Rauf Olaniyan, the deputy governor of Oyo State, was in attendance.
After 90 minutes, the Governors adjourned the meeting without providing any additional information on the topics discussed.
Rotimi Akeredolu, the chairman of the Forum and the governor of Ondo State, issued a brief statement to press about their discussions, revealing that part of their deliberations focused on the security situation in the region.
Akeredolu said there was also talk about the Oodua Group, which is owned by all six Southwest states, but he wouldn’t go into depth. He pointed out that the Forum was unwilling to divulge all of the meeting’s details.
He said, “We, the six Governors of the Southwest under the Southwest Governors’ Forum met today. We deliberated on a number of common and personal issues. We also deliberated on our common heritage, which is the Oodua Group of Companies.
“At the end, we agreed on a few things; a number of them, which have to do with security, are not what we can discuss in the open. This short address is just to let you (pressmen) know we met today but we don’t want our decisions discussed in the open.”
The Governors departed the Lagos House, Marina after the short briefing.
