Governors from the Southern region of the country are currently meeting in Enugu state.
Governors who have arrived at the meeting include Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State; Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos; Emmanuel Udo of Akwa Ibom; Gboyega Oyetola of Osun State; Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State; and Bayelsa’s Douye Diri and they were received at the Government House in Enugu by the host, Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi.
It is expected that the Governors will deliberate on the ongoing Value Added Tax (VAT) battle between states and the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), open grazing and security issues.
The meeting is being convened, two months after the governors met in Lagos State where they reached a resolution including banning open grazing and the presidency coming to the Southern region.
