Buhari In Closed-Door Meeting With 36 State Governors

56

President Muhammadu Buhari is currently a closed-door meeting with the 36 state Governors, at the presidential villa.

The meeting is coming after the Nigerian Governors Forum met last week and resolved to meet with the President on the state of insecurity in the country.

This formed part of the resolutions reached at the meeting which deliberated on issues affecting the country, particularly on the issue of national security and the recent killings of over 43 rice farmers in Borno State.

They decried that the police and other internal security operatives have not been functioning to full capacity since the #EndSARS protests in parts of the country, noting the attendant security exposure to the safety of lives and properties of the people.

As a result, the governors agreed to pay close attention to the conduct of police officers across the country in order to get them and others fully back to work.

The governors also resolved to support the necessary reforms that would result in a police force that works for all.

On the aftermath of the protests, they noted that the judicial commissions of inquiry instituted in all 36 states to probe petitions of brutality by law enforcement agents were in progress.
