The 17 governors of the Southern states will today meet in Lagos to continue their search for the solution to the problems confronting the country.
The first meeting of the forum held on May 11, was hosted by Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State with 15 of the 17 governors in attendance.
The meeting was chaired by the Chairman of Southern Governors’ Forum and Ondo State Governor, Mr. Rotimi Akeredolu.
The governors had at the end of the meeting, issued a 12-point resolution, which included the ban on open grazing in all the states and the call for restructuring, among others.
THISDAY gathered that today’s meeting in Lagos will examine the progress made regarding the Asaba Declaration, examine opposition to some of the demands and come up with a better strategy for actualising the demands.

The scheduled Lagos mega rally by Yoruba nation agitators turned bloody yesterday as a 14-year-old girl was killed, apparently, by stray bullet from the Nigeria Police.
The rally could not hold on a large scale as planned because of heavy police presence at the Gani Fawehinmi Freedom Park, Ojota, a situation that led to a confrontation between the agitators and security agents.
The rally was planned by Yoruba activist, Mr. Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho. But barely 24 hours before it was due to commence, the police denied the planners a permit. The police claimed the timing of the rally was wrong, as the state was still in pains following the huge destruction suffered during the last #EndSARS protests.
