Southern Governors Give Deadline For Implementation Of Anti-Open Grazing Law

 

A deadline has been set by Southern Governors for the implementation of anti-open grazing law.

 

The governors under the umbrella of Southern Governors’ Forum have set September 21, 2021, as the deadline among its member states.

 

The governors took the decision on Monday during a close-door meeting in Lagos State.

 

The Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, who read the communique shortly after the meeting, said the members have jointly agreed on the date.

 

The governors, who warned the security agencies in the country not to operate in their various states without permission from the governor in charge, also insisted that President Muhammadu Buhari’s successor must emerge from the region.
