COMMUNIQUE ISSUED AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE MEETING OF THE GOVERNORS OF SOUTHERN NIGERIA IN GOVERNMENT HOUSE, ASABA, DELTA STATE, ON TUESDAY, 11TH MAY, 2021

At its meeting, held today, 11th May, 2021, the Southern Governors
Forum reviewed the situation in the nation generally and focused
on the current security situation, agitations/restructuring,
prospect for inter-state collaboration and partnerships as well as on the incidence of the COVID-19 Pandemic. Rising from the meeting, the Forum:

i) affirmed that the peoples of Southern Nigeria remain
committed to the unity of Nigeria on the basis of justice,
fairness, equity and oneness and peaceful co-existence
between and among its peoples with a focus on the attainment of shared goals for economíc development and prosperity;

ii) observed that the incursion of
armed herders, criminals
and bandits into the Southern part of the country has presented a severe security challenge such that citizens are not able to live their normal lives including pursuing
various productive activities leading to a threat to food supply and general security. Consequently, the meeting resolved that open grazing of cattle be banned across
Southern Nigería;

iii) noted that development and population growth has put pressure on available land and increased the prospects of conflict between migrating herders and local populations in the South. Given this scenario, it becomes imperative to enforce the ban on open grazing in the South (including
cattle movement to the South by foot);

iv) recommended that the Federal Government should support WILLING States to develop alternative and modern
livestock management systems;

v) agreed that the progress of the nation requires that urgent and bold steps be taken to restructure the Nigerian Federation leading to the evolution of state police, review
of revenue allocation formula in favour of the sub-national
governments and creation of other institutions which legitimately advance our commitment to and practice of true federalism;

vi) recommended that in view of widespread agitations among
our various peoples for greater inclusiveness in existing
governance arrangements, the Federal Government should
convoke a national dialogue as a matter of urgency;

vii) recommended that in deference to the sensitivities of our
various peoples, there is need to review appointments into Federal
Government Agencies (including Security Agencies) to reflect federal character as Nigeria's overall
population is heterogenous;

viii) resolved to foster cooperation among the Southern States
and the nation at large. In this connection, Secretaries to
the Governments of the Southern States are to work together to develop and institutionalize a mechanism to foster this cooperation which will advance the comparative economic advantages and other interests of the Southern
States;

ix) expressed concern on the continued gridlock on the
Oshodi - Apapa Expressway and the chokehold it has exerted on the nation's economy being the sole outlet from Apapa Wharf. The meeting therefore recommended the activation and establishment of ports in other States of the
federation to create new jobs and promote socio-economic
activities in the country;

x) the meeting expressed concern on the economic implications of another lockdown on the country, and therefore suggested greater coordination and cooperation
between Federal and State Governments in evolving
strategies for dealing with the pandemic;

xi) expressed very grave concern on the security challenge currently plaguing the nation and strongly urged that Mr. President should address Nigerians on the challenges of insecurity and restore the confidence of our people; and

xii) expressed gratitude to our host, Governor Ifeanyi Okowa
for his generosity and hospitality.

Mid Belters......organise!

Great!

See what Buhari has reduced Nigeria to

Now there is Southern Nigeria and Northern Nigeria

Nice one.
The south must unite, if not for anything but for the sole purpose of crushing the head of the sapent (fulani jihadist).

They should match their word with actions if anyone violates

Awon weyrey. 100% words , 0% action

Meanwhile, southern Nigeria protecting themselves from northern Nigeria (Fulani).

The country is divided already. Na just mek dem put am for paper sign am

Tor....

wasted state money for this nonsense ... They didn't even task themselves to work efficiently, increase road construction, provide good farming environment, create good jobs, improve in education n health care etc..

I love this, is now North vs South

Is that all?
How many times have they "band" open grazing?

How many times will they ban it.

Very very good news

Let them also back it up with state assembly and court of law to seal the deal.

If you are a herder, go and arrange your own ranch cos grazing openly is no longer allowed in Southern Nigeria.. If the business is not profitable to afford their own ranch, they should go and look for a new job.

Where there is no law,there is no sin
Where there is no sin,there is no law

I wonder what they've been waiting for. Bet they never supported the Livestock Transformation Development Plan that many derogatively called Ruga though that would have forced cattle rearing on to a ranch and out of the hands of the cattle rearing Fulanis.

Livestock Transformation Development Plan

The Fear of Fulani Herdsmen and Cows!

Cattle Ranch 101

Did Hope the supreme court Administrator attend?

So Gov Rotimi Akerodolu is the unofficial Chairman of Southern Nigeria Governors forum?

This southern bull crap will never sail as long as Yoruba people dey there

They will be the first to disembark from this agreement and will cite sophistication

Anyone wants to bet?

Believe me south east and south south governors knows this...

All for there they pretend and them Dey deceive themselves

Tinubu said Yoruba people and Fulani are one

And we’re seeing his boys on southern gibberish..
How e wan work

Talk is cheap

There's time for everything bro, security of life should come first

This is d number one.
Number two should be serious action against violation and lastly,oneness,trust and no double standard. Enough is enough in dis country. The. Fulanis ve bitten more than they can chew and must either allow peace to reign or pieces wil b d oda of d day.

Times are changing. North vs south. I see Benue,plateau,taraba and kogi joining this meeting since they share similar ideologies with the south.

Buhari see your life. You have now United the South, something Obasanjo and GEJ could not do. Well done!! Continue with your Fulani aggression and soon there will be no more Nigeria
