Governors have resolved to implement measures to cushion the effect of the current economic hardship on the citizens and raise foreign exchange earnings.
The governors came up with the resolution at an emergency virtual meeting of the Nigeria Governor’s Forum (NGF).
In a communique issued after the meeting by the Chairman of the NGF and Governor of Kwara State, ABDULRAHMAN ABDULRAZAQ, the Governors also considered ways to address rising insecurity.
The Governors agreed to work on ways to improve foreign exchange supply by easing commodity export requirements to encourage the export and supply of foreign exchange, curbing illegal export of solid minerals, and increasing crude oil production to earn more foreign exchange.
The Governors also resolved to support improved enforcement efforts by reviewing the extant criminal justice laws in the states to ensure quick dispensation of justice on perpetrators of insecurity in the States.
