According to him, the Forum, made up of all the 17 governors in the Southern part of Nigeria, has decided to be more deliberate about promoting agriculture and ensuring food security in the region.

“What we discussed as a region was to ensure that we become more deliberate and more intentional about food security and agriculture

“This is a region that has over 8 million hectares of land; we don’t have any business not growing what we eat and eating what we grow.

“So, governors resolved that going forward. We are going to be intentional and more deliberate about promoting agriculture and ensuring food security,” Governor Abiodun said.

He said the focus on food security and agriculture is only one of the many issues discussed by the governors in the meeting.

He revealed that infrastructural development was also among the areas the governors resolved to look into, adding that they decided that the region must have a multi-modal transport master plan that will connect rail, road air, and water transportation.

The move, according to the governor, follows the realization by the Forum that transportation is a key enabler in investment promotion, facilitation, and of course the general well-being of the people.

He said the governors spoke about insecurity in the region, backing state, community, and regional security outfits which he said almost all the zones in the region have set up.

With Governor Abiodun’s emergence on Monday as the new chairman of the Forum, he replaced the former governor of Ondo State, the late Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, who held that position until his death in December 2023.

The governor of Anambra State, Chukwuma Soludo will serve as his deputy.

Governor Abiodun then assured that Nigerians will see a new, repositioned, refocused Southern Governors’ Forum going forward.

]In a bizarre incident at a local Walmart, a man found himself on the receiving end of multiple parking tickets after engaging in a heated exchange with a state trooper. The incident unfolded within a span of just five minutes, leaving both parties involved in a confrontation that escalated quickly.

Eyewitnesses reported that the man, whose identity remains undisclosed, had parked his vehicle in a designated handicap spot outside the Walmart store. Upon exiting the store, he was startled to discover a state trooper writing a parking ticket for the violation…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

In an attempt to persuade the trooper to reconsider, the man approached him and pleaded for leniency. However, his appeals fell on deaf ears as the trooper continued to write the ticket. Frustration mounting, the man resorted to hurling insults at the trooper, referring to him as a “pencil-necked cop.”

Unfazed by the verbal onslaught, the state trooper maintained his composure and proceeded to issue additional tickets for unrelated violations. First, a ticket for worn tires was issued, followed by a series of three more tickets, with each insult from the man seemingly fueling the trooper’s determination to enforce the law.

Despite receiving a total of five parking tickets, the man remained unperturbed as he revealed that his actual vehicle was parked out of sight around the corner. It seemed that his primary intention was to antagonize the trooper rather than contest the issued tickets. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

Authorities were called to the scene as witnesses became concerned about the escalating confrontation. The situation was quickly diffused, and both parties were separated before any further escalation occurred. The state trooper declined to comment on the incident, while the man was escorted away from the scene by Walmart security.

Local law enforcement agencies are now reviewing the incident to determine if any disciplinary action is necessary regarding the trooper’s conduct. Additionally, legal experts have highlighted the importance of maintaining respect and civility during interactions with law enforcement officers, emphasizing that verbal altercations can lead to unnecessary consequences for all parties involved.

The incident serves as a reminder of the potential consequences of engaging in confrontations with law enforcement, even in seemingly trivial situations. Authorities urge individuals to remain calm and respectful when faced with a parking violation or any other encounter with law enforcement officers to avoid exacerbating the situation and potentially facing legal repercussions.
