Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State is to lead a group of selected individuals to President Muhammadu Buhari to seek ways to address the fast degenerating state of security in the country.
To accompany Fayemi to the planned meeting with Buhari are the governors of Ekiti, Bayelsa, Ebonyi, Kastina, Kogi and Borno states.
Others are the National Security Adviser (NSA), the Inspector General of Police (IGP) and the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) or his representative.
They are all members of the National Economic Council (NEC) Ad-hoc Committee on Security and Policing, currently chaired by Fayemi.
The committee resolved to meet with the President after a meeting on August 4 this year, with heads of the nation’s security agencies where they discussed and reviewed the security challenges in the country.
Fayemi, who disclosed this at the 14th teleconference meeting of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) held on August 5 this year, said resolutions reached the said meeting with security chiefs “will be presented to Mr President shortly.”
