President Muhammad Buhari has met with the 36 state Governors of the federation at the presidential villa, Abuja.
The meeting which started at 14:00 hours lasted for two hours.
The meeting is said to be connected with current security challenges in the country.
Following the recent killings of over 43 rice farmers in Borno state, the Governors had at their meeting in Abuja last week, resolved to meet the President on the need to address the security challenges particularly in the light of the carnage in Borno.
Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ forum and Governor of Ekiti state Dr. Kayode Fayemi, in a communiqué made available to journalists, said they had also resolved to support the necessary reforms that will result in a police force that works for all.
The communiqué stated: “As an immediate to medium term measure, members agreed to pay close attention to the conduct of police officers across the country in order to get them and other internal security operatives fully back to work as the have not been functioning to full capacity since the ENDSARS protests with the attendant security exposure to the safety of lives and properties of the ordinary citizens”.
The Governors however declined making comments when approached by journalists covering the state house at the end of the meeting.
Service Chiefs were however seen approaching the state house soon after the Governors met with the President.
