The Nigeria Governors’ Forum NGF will be holding its 2023 valedictory meeting on Wednesday, 26th April 2023.
This was according to an invitation to all the 36 Governors, issued by the Director-General of the NGF Mr Asishana B Okauru.
Mr Okauru’s invitation letter stated that the meeting, the NGF’s 5th in 2023, would be physical.
Four earlier meetings during the year had been virtual.
It further stated that after the Chairman’s brief and few parting remarks, the floor would be open for valedictories from members.
17 Governors are leaving the Forum, having completed their terms of office, while plans have reached an advanced stage for the on-boarding of the new Governors at the upcoming NGF induction for new and returning Governors, which comes up between 14th and 17 May 2023.
The meeting would also effectively end the Governors’ Fayemi/Tambuwal leadership of the Forum.
Another Chairman will, in due course, emerge from among Governors of the majority party.
“First termers are ineligible to vie for the Chairmanship of the Forum,” according to a statement by Abdulrazaque Barkindo
Director, Media & Public Affairs, Nigeria Governors’ Forum Secretariat.
