Rape, FAAC deductions, loan restructuring, top Governors’ 10th virtual June 10 meeting agenda

363

 

 

 

The 10th teleconference meeting of Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) scheduled for Wednesday will among others deliberate on refunds to states from the Federal Accounts Allocation Committee (FAAC) deductions, restructuring of states’ loans and World Bank Cares programme.

 

It is also expected to discuss Coalition Against COVID-19 (CACOVID) distribution of palliatives and reimbursements for construction of federal roads to Rivers, Bayelsa, Ondo, Osun and Cross River states.

 

A statement by the NGF’s Head of Media and Public Affairs, Mr Abdulrazaque Bello-Barkindo, said the committee on review of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy chaired by Gov. Nasir el-Rufai of Kaduna State will submit its report for endorsement.

 

The Committee was set up at the last NEC meeting in March 2020.

 

According to him, the governors will also receive memoranda from various groups including a statement from the Nigeria Governors’ Spouses’ Forum headed by the wife of the chairman and governor of Ekiti State, Mrs Bisi Fayemi, on violence against women and children as well as rape.

 

Expectedly, the Inspector-General of Police will brief the governors on the Police Trust Fund just as the Women Affairs Minister, Mrs Pauline Talen will interface with them on critical gender issues including rape and sexual violence in the country.
