This was part of the resolutions at the forum’s meeting in Enugu. The centre, according to the communique issued at the end of the meeting, will be located in Enugu.
The governors said the centre is a response to the emerging security challenges in the zone. The region comprises five States of Abia, Ebonyi, Enugu, Imo and Anambra.
In recent times, the region has battled with an intermittent breakout of clashes between herdsmen and farmers.
Other major security concerns in the region which the governors are battling to contain include kidnapping, armed robbery and cultism.

Long overdue.... The presidency's lackadaisical approach on handling security lapses calls for a great concern. A very good development.
ReplyDeleteCould you imagine that the Arewa northern group called for a meeting by inviting Ohaneze ndi Igbo leadership, Afenifere elders, Pandef and middle belt leaders on a discussion but became so insensitive to also invite the Miyelty Allah on the meeting. This act didn't go down well with all the apex social cultural organizations as they opted out of the meeting. I so much love that decision by all the southern elders. How can you invite a group(Miyelty Allah) who threatened the nation if RUGA isn't implemented they will strike? A group inflicting pains on Nigerians. Isn't that a slap to our collective reasoning? When has Miyelty Allah becomes a social cultural organization in Nigeria? So much nonsense from this northern feudal politicians who think they are Lords.
These south east people with carrying big belle up and down shamelessly.
