South-West Governors To Hold Emergency Meeting In Ibadan Over Rising Security Concerns

Governors of Nigeria’s South-West region are set to convene an urgent meeting in Ibadan on Monday to address critical issues affecting the zone, with security challenges taking centre stage.

The meeting, to be held behind closed doors at the Governor’s Office in Agodi, will be hosted by Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde. All six governors from Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Ondo, and Ekiti are expected to attend.

According to sources, the session was hastily arranged to discuss strategies for curbing rising security threats, accelerate infrastructural projects, and enhance regional cooperation under the Development Agenda for Western Nigeria (DAWN).

Officials are also expected to review the performance of existing joint security efforts, including the Amotekun Corps, with plans to strengthen its capacity to respond effectively to emerging challenges.
