A communique issued by the governors during the Forum’s 10th meeting held in Bauchi State, signed by the NEGF Chairman, Prof Babagana Zulum, urged the Federal Government to prioritise the region to enhance its development.

In the same vein, the Forum said it is watching keenly the commitment made by TCN to restore power to all the states of the region by the 27th of May 2024 and urged the Federal Government to direct TCN to take immediate action.
