President Muhammadu Buhari and Mr. Abdulaziz Yari
Chairman, Nigerian Governors' Forum and Governor of Zamfara State,
Abdulaziz Yari presented a greeting card to President Muhammadu Buhari
on behalf of the Governors during the National Economic Council (NEC)
meeting today at the State House in Abuja.
The President took the opportunity of the NEC Meeting to meet with State Governors. Speaking after the meeting, Buhari said;
'I took the opportunity of the National Economic Council (NEC)
Meeting today to meet with State Governors. I have directed the Finance
Minister and CBN Governor to speedily release the 2nd tranche of the
London-Paris Club refunds to the States, in order to ease their
financial hardships.
My promise to Nigerians is that I will not rest until I address
all the issues that affect you. One of these basic things is salaries.
It is most important that workers are able to feed their families, and
pay rent and school fees. Extremely important. Then other things can
follow.
As I've said before, pursuing the interest of the Nigerian
people is the only way to show my gratitude for all the love and support
I've been shown. At NEC I also apologized to the Governors for barring
visits while I was away—I didn’t want government to move to London; I
wanted it to remain in Abuja, and I am glad it did'.
