Tinubu meets governors on food, security

President Bola Tinubu is currently meeting with state governors at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

The meeting, which is not unconnected with the food situation and security in the country, has more than 27 governors and the deputy governor of Bauchi State in attendance.

The meeting is also attended by Vice President Kashim Shettima and National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu.

The Federal Government had started releasing tonnes of assorted grains to the market as part of efforts to make food available, affordable, and accessible across the country.

Measures have also been taken by the government to tackle the rising criminal activities through synergy among the Armed Forces and other paramilitary organisations.

President Tinubu is expected to leave for the AU summit in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, immediately after the meeting with the governors.

African leaders will meet in Addis Ababa for the annual summit to be used to tackle the many challenges facing the continent and decide on how best to bolster the AU’s intervention in its various crises.
