The 17 governors of the Southern states will meet in Lagos to continue their search for the solution to the problems confronting the country.
The governors had earlier issued a 12-point resolution, which included the ban on open grazing in all the states and the call for restructuring, among others.
The present meeting in Lagos will examine the progress made regarding the Asaba Declaration, examine opposition to some of the demands and come up with a better strategy for actualising the demands.
The governors were demanding inclusive government at the federal level, state police, and a review of the revenue allocation formula in favour of the sub-national governments.
They also wanted the creation of some other institutions, which will legitimately advance commitment to the practice of federalism.
