Today’s meeting follows a similar one held in Lagos on 10 June 2024, where Governor Sanwo-Olu was unanimously appointed chairman of the South-West Governors’ Forum.
Since its last meeting, the forum, under Governor Sanwo-Olu’s leadership, has prioritised policies aimed at strengthening regional development in the South-West zone.
