State governors in the South-West geo-political zone will on Monday meet in Ado-Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital, in continuation of their regular meetings aimed at ensuring regional integration.
A statement in Ado-Ekiti by the Chief Press Secretary to the Ekiti State governor, Mr Idowu Adelusi, on Thursday, said the meeting would be in furtherance of the resolve of the governors of the six states of the South West region to meet on a regular basis in order to continue to pursue a unified framework for tackling the development challenges of the region.
