The governors made the call at the 5th edition of the North East Governors’ Forum held at the Taraba State Government House in Jalingo.
The Governors also asked the Federal Government to extend the exploration of oil to the Chad Basins so as to put the northeast states on the list of oil-rich states.
Meanwhile, the Governor of Borno State who doubles as chairman of the forum, Professor Babagana Zulum and the host Governor, Darius Ishaku, harped on the need for more infrastructural development in the northeast, including electricity supply.
