Two months after the Southern Governors Forum met in Lagos State where they made a series of decisions including banning open grazing, they’re currently meeting in Enugu.

Africa Daily News, New York recalls that the governors had set September 5 as the deadline for states in southern Nigeria to promulgate the anti-open grazing law.

Although only seven states – Ebonyi, Abia, Bayelsa, Rivers, Oyo, Ekiti, and Ondo – beat the deadline, more states have enacted the law banning open grazing.

Aside from issues around open grazing, the governors also agreed that Nigeria’s next president [in 2023] should be from the southern part of the country.

In the same meeting, they equally affirmed their commitment to Nigeria’s unity, restating calls for state policing among other issues.
