“Consequently, the Forum advised the NWC to set up the machinery for the effective implementation of the court judgment.”
The governors commended the country’s Armed Forces and Security Agencies, stating:
“country’s valiant and patriotic Armed Forces and Security Agencies for maintaining the frontline in securing the country and the gains of our gallant personnel against bandits in parts of the country, the Forum viewed with deep concern, the resurgence of brazen non-state actors.”
They also reviewed the performance of member states, noting:
“The Meeting commended Governors of member states for pursuing policies and programmes that not only ameliorated the plight of the people but were aimed at creating the foundation for sustainable development in their various states.
“The Meeting noted that the macro-economic policies of the Federal Government that have inflicted hardship and pain on the polity; therefore the Forum calls the Federal Government to either revisit or rejig its macro-economic policies to ameliorate and or stop the hardship/pains that they have inflicted on Nigerians as no meaningful/impactful achievements in the states will be achieved until the harsh policies are addressed.”
