The South-West Governors Forum’s new chairman is Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

This comes after the passing of Rotimi Akeredolu, the former governor of Ondo State, eight months ago.

Following a four-hour discussion behind closed doors, Governor Sanwo-Olu briefed reporters at the Lagos House in Alausa. He stated that all six governors present had reached a unanimous conclusion.

According to him, the South-West Governors’ Forum resisted Yoruba Nation’s agitation and gave residents assurances that the new minimum wage, which the federal government will soon unveil, will really reflect federalism.

The South-West Governors’ Forum, which restated its commitment to state police, adopted Ise Wa Fun Ile Wa as its anthem, and urged President Bola Tinubu to expedite action on rehabilitation of all federal roads across the country.

He commended the federal lawmakers on the Development Agenda for Western Nigeria (DAWN) Commission bill to strengthen economic growth and food security among states and advocated speedy passage of the bill.

Those in attendance include Governors Lucky Aiyedatiwa of Ondo, Dapo Abiodun of Ogun, Mr Seyi Makinde of Oyo, Senator Ademola Adeleke of Osun and Mr Abiodun Oyebanji of Ekiti.
