Governors of the South-South region of the country are meeting in Rivers State.
The meeting, hosted by Governor Nyesom Wike, is ongoing at the Government House in Port Harcourt, the state capital.
Chairman of the South-South Governors’ Forum, Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State, and his Edo State counterpart, Governor Godwin Obaseki, are part of those at the meeting.
They arrived around 10:30am and were joined later by the governors of Bayelsa State, Douye Diri, and his counterpart from Akwa Ibom State, Udom Emmanuel.
