Governors of the All Progressives Congress, APC, have resolved to strengthen collaboration between the federal and state governments to enhance governance and development across the country.
The resolution was part of a communiqué issued at the end of the Progressive Governors’ Forum, PGF, meeting held in Birnin Kebbi, Kebbi State, from October 16 to 17. The communiqué was read by the forum’s chairman, Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State.
The meeting, which brought together APC governors from across Nigeria, focused on reviewing the nation’s socio-economic challenges and assessing the role of states in driving national development.
The governors also discussed the need for improved coordination among the three tiers of government to promote effective service delivery and inclusive governance.
A key highlight of the meeting was the formal reception of Enugu State Governor, Peter Mbah, into the APC, bringing the number of APC-controlled states to 24.
The forum also reviewed ongoing economic and social reforms across the federation and commended efforts aimed at improving fiscal stability, food security, power supply, and infrastructure.
The governors reaffirmed their commitment to aligning state-level initiatives with national development priorities and pledged continued support for policies aimed at improving citizens’ welfare.
