From Felix Ikem, Nsukka

The Save Enugu Youth Initiatives has commended the recent resolutions by the Southern Governors’ Forum, at Asaba in Delta State, where the governors recommended restructuring, state policing and the jettisoning of open grazing as panacea for the lingering insecurity across the federation.

The youth body described as factual those problems identified by the governors, while urging the federal government to, as a matter of urgency, muster courage and embrace the timely calls by the southern leaders to save the nation from sliding into a ditch.

Speaking to Daily Sun in Nsukka on Thursday, the Convener of the group, Gwiyi Solomon, who was flanked by the state coordinator of the group, Chibueze Nwoga, commended governors from the south for demonstrating genuine leadership and exemplary representation especially as it concerns burning national issues, including banning open grazing of cattle, call for restructuring and call for national confab.

Gwiyi said that such boldness unanimously taken by the governors of the south should not be dashed a way with the wave of the hand by the federal government as their resolutions are both timely and necessary.
