In a bid to find urgent solutions to what they called issues of national importance, the 36 State Governors under the aegis of the Nigerian Governors Forum (NGF) will converge on the city of Abuja this week, Persecondnews has learnt. Also expected at the meeting are the Speakers of the 36 state Houses of Assembly.

It is expected that Executive-Legislature harmony will occupy the minds of the attendees with a view to achieving rapid problem-solving in the polity.

Other crucial matters such as the worsening insecurity in the country with the recent bloody attack on the Abuja-Kaduna train will also be discussed.
