S’WEST GOVERNORS MEET IN LAGOS, DISCUSS ISSUES OF INTEREST.{PHOTOS}.#PRESS RELEASE.

Members of Southwest Governors Forum, on Tuesday, met in Lagos State to discuss issues of interest to the region.

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.
