Nigerian State Governors have stepped up measures out of nation’s current economic and security crisis.
Rising from an emergency virtual meeting, the Governors under the umbrella of the Nigeria Governors Forum resolved to reduce foreign exchange demands by curtailing dependence on imported goods and services.
They also agreed to improve foreign exchange supply by easing commodity export requirements to encourage exportation and supply of foreign exchange.
The emergency step will also include, curbing illegal export of solid minerals and increasing oil production to earn more foreign exchange.
A statement by the Governors Forum also pledged to support improved enforcement efforts by reviewing extant criminal justice laws in the States, to ensure quick dispensation of justice on perpetrators of Insecurity in States.
The latest move of the Governors is sequel to a briefing by the National Security Adviser, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu and representatives of the Department of State Services, bothering on national stability.
