Delegation of Nigeria Governors Forum, NGF, is meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The delegation led by the Chairman of NGF and governor of Zamfara state, Abdullaziz Yari arrived at the venue about 12:30pm and went straight to the New Banquet Hall at Aso Rock.

Though, the agenda of the meeting was not made public, it may not be unconnected with security challenges some states are facing as well as insufficient fund to pay salary.
