Regional Security: South-East govs mandate houses of assembly to enact laws

SOUTH East Governors have mandated their various Houses of Assembly in the zone to commence enactment of state security laws that will give legal backing to the establishment of regional security in line with its joint security programme for the zone.

The Governors who held joint meetings with Ohanaeze Ndigbo and other political leaders of the zone expressed disappointment with the Inspector General of Police for reneging in an earlier agreement they had with the police on the practice and composition of Community policing for the zone.

Rising from a meeting in Enugu, on Sunday, attended by the five Governors in the zone, Chairman of the South East Governors’ Forum and Governor of Ebonyi State, Engr. Dave Umahi said “The recent communication from the Inspector General of Police to our Governors on community Policing composition is not in keeping with the agreement we reached with him during his last visit to the South East.

“In the circumstance, we cannot begin implementation of it until the programme reflects our earlier agreement. The southeast Governors and their leaders request the IGP to revert to our initial agreement reached on community policing at Enugu.

“The forum agreed that all South East States Houses of Assembly should commence the process of enacting the state security laws in line with the South East joint security programme.”

On the Coronavirus pandemic, the South East Governors said they will engage the Nigeria Center for Disease Control, NCDC, to scale up testing of coronavirus in Southeast states and further directed that all Igbo living outside Igbo land do obey all extant Covid-19 orders such as the presidential directive on interstate movement, World Health, and NCDC hygiene protocols; the presidential Task Force and the directives of the South East Governors and directives of all Governors where they reside.

The Governors’ meeting also agreed to set up committees in the five states to work with the federal government, the World Bank, the Central Bank of Nigeria and the NSIA in their various programmes to rejig the economy, especially in areas of Agriculture, SME, and Solid Minerals.

“The Meeting agreed to hold a virtual meeting with the Group MD of NNPC on the issue of linking our southeast capitals with gas pipeline alongside with the pipeline programme of the federal government which is running from Imo to Lagos state; the meeting equally agreed that Ohanaeze does submit a working document in our next meeting on setting up of South East Stabilisation fund,” Umahi disclosed.

The Governor assured Ndigbo that with the progress of work at Akanu Ibiam International airport Enugu, the airport will re-open soonest, subject to the Covid-19 programme of the federal government.

It also commended the federal government, the federal ministry of works, and the Governor of Anambra State with the progress of work at the Second Niger Bridge, adding that the next meeting of the southeast traditional institution shall be hosted by Ebonyi State.

The above is an official statement released from their meeting. In the bold, Ibos reading this will believe and attach to this falsehood to make
claim that oil from SE develop Lagos and its IGR. Is that not so? Follow below for the truth and fact check on oil pipelines across Nigeria.

What exactly is your point?

The question should be is there an ongoing or about to commence FG gas pipeline project running from Imo to Lagos?
If yes, where is the propaganda?

Have never met selfish sect of people like us

We don't accommodate people but we run to other region in the name of Nigeria.

We're very selfish yet we expect Yoruba and Hausa to be kind to us

SW governors are also reading the news and sud follow suit with their own

A simple question, that requires a yes or no answer. You typed all these without answering the question.
I have seen where your problem is coming from.

Is there a pipeline running from Imo to Lagos, now or in future? The answer is NO! It is worrisome that your leaders are not tellingthetruth on something so obvious and they inserted the lie to official press release.

If this press statement is allowed to go unchecked we will soon hear from your likes on social media that Yoruba is dependent on your resource....which is the agenda behind their highlight of a pipeline running from Imo to Lagos. Why did they single out Lagos?

Assuming Imo is feeding oil and gas to other regions, would it not cross SS first before getting to Lagos? Would it not also be piped to North Central states? What's their purpose for highlighting Imo to Lagos?

Instead of reading the well explained response and learn, he is here demanding for a "yes" or "no" answer. Is that your limit?

There is a big difference between "on going" and "will be". Which "yes" or "no" gibberish are you talking about?

when I saw the news earlier I didn't bother thinking much about it cos I know that can't be possible. How can imo supply Lagos natural gas? With Lagos being a coastal city, it can only be Lagos supplying imo state gas

This map has shut them up. Otherwise we would already see them attach to the "Imo to Lagos pipeline" lie and use it to condemn SW.

If it came from a spare parts seller it shouldn't draw headlines and concern.....but look where it came from, State Governors!

well I guess even their governors realise they need to give their ppl something about the SW to self-service on otherwise what is their aim? ..... or maybe their meeting ain't legitimate enough if the SW is not included in their mentions.

Late comers

Any reasons why this tribalist of an OP should not receive life ban NL Why allow this nonsense!!!

Following. Lets see if the SE governors are mature, sensible and responsible enough to issue an apt correction.

I doubt it.

I have searched internet to see if there is any hint of truth in what they said and I found none. There is a project Assa North-Ohaji South gas project involving OML53 AND 21. Oil extracted from Imo is processed into gas and stored at reservoirs in Oben.

Oben connects with pipeline to Ajaokuta. There is a secondary connection to Escravos. Escravos pipeline connects to Lagos. Lagos connects to West African Pipeline to Benin, Togo, Ghana. Scroll up to see first map and table.

There is no pipeline from Imo to Lagos now or planned for future. They will get PR to say some ambitious aide erroneously misquoted them.
