Governors from the South-south/South-east geo-political zones will meet on August 27, 2017 at the Government House, Port Harcourt, Rivers State at 7p.m.
Interim Chairman of the South-south/South-east Governors’ Forum and Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Udom Emmanuel, made the announcement yesterday.
Emmanuel, in a statement, said the meeting would provide another avenue for deliberation between the governors of the states in the regions on issues of regional and national interest, with a view to solidifying the ties that bind the people of the states together.
Emmanuel added that the meeting would also explore areas of economic, socio-cultural and political co-operation between the states to the overall benefit of the citizens and residents of the regions.
“I hereby extend an invitation to all the governors in the two regions to attend the meeting as a follow up to the successful inaugural meeting held in Enugu on July 9, 2017,” he said.

They discussed restructuring and re-echoed calls for the implementation of the 2014 national conference resolutions, among others.
The also said it was regrettable that the entire South-East has only 5 percent allocation out of the entire power generated in the country.
