The South-South governors in Nigeria are meeting in Port Harcourt, capital of Rivers, hosted by the governor, Nyesom Wike.
Chairman of the South-South Governors’ Forum, Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State, and his Edo state counterpart, Governor Godwin Obaseki, are part of those at the meeting.
They arrived around 10:30am and were joined later by the governors of Bayelsa State, Douye Diri, and his counterpart from Akwa Ibom State, Udom Emmanuel.
The meeting is taking place a month before the meeting of the Southern Governors’ Forum, also scheduled to take place in Port Harcourt.
Although the agenda of the South-South governors’ meeting was not disclosed, it is expected to focus on issues bordering on power rotation, the dispute over the Value Added Tax (VAT), as well as the security and economic development of the region.
