The governors of the six states in the South West Zone met on Tuesday in Ibadan at a security summit where they pledged to find a solution to the lingering security challenges in the zone. In his address of welcome, Makinde argued that a regional approach to resolving the security challenges facing the South West states was important. According to him, the South West states are interlinked and the challenges of one state could easily become the challenges of the entire zone. Akeredolu, who is the chairman of the South West Governors Forum, said that the security of life and property of citizens should not be compromised. He noted that the security challenges were not peculiar to the zone alone but a national problem.
