North-East governors have urged President Bola Tinubu to prioritise the completion of 17 major road projects and resume oil exploration in frontier wells, including Kolmani and Lake Chad. The call was made during a meeting at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Wednesday.
The delegation, led by Borno State Governor Babagana Zulum, also included Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya of Gombe, Bala Mohammed of Bauchi, Mai Mala Buni of Yobe, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri of Adamawa, and Agbu Kefas of Taraba. The governors said the projects are critical to regional integration, security, and economic growth.
