Rising from a three-hour meeting held in Lagos\u00a0Monday<\/span><\/span>, the governors of
\nthe 17 states of Southern Nigeria have asked the federal government to
\ndevolve powers to the states.<\/p>\n

The governors also reiterated their commitment to a united, indivisible
\nNigeria.<\/p>\n

In a joint communique read by the host governor, Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos
\nState, the governors said that they also remained committed to a true
\nfederalism.<\/p>\n

The communiqu\u00e9, however, did not state what they meant by true federalism.
\nThe governors said they would like to see an effective linkage of
\ninfrastructure in the Southern part of the country and pledged to work
\ntogether for the development of the states in the Southern part of the
\ncountry.<\/p>\n

Whilst the Northern Governors\u2019 Forum has held regular meetings, the
\nSouthern governors are just waking from their slumber, making Monday\u2019s the
\nsecond meeting by the Southern Governors\u2019 Forum\u00a0in 12 years<\/span><\/span>.<\/p>\n

The first summit of the Southern governors took place in 2001 and the last
\nprior to\u00a0Monday\u2019s<\/span><\/span>, was in 2005.<\/p>\n

At\u00a0Monday\u2019s<\/span><\/span>\u00a0summit, which was attended by the governors or their
\nrepresentatives, except for Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha who did not
\nattend or send a representative, the governors appointed Ambode as
\nchairman of the forum and Governors Dave Umahi of Ebonyi and Seriake
\nDickson of Bayelsa as co-chairmen.<\/p>\n

Some of the governors who attended the summit included the governors of
\nthe six South-western states: Ambode; Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Ayo
\nFayose; Ogun State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun; Ondo State Governor,
\nMr. Rotimi Akeredolu; Osun State Governor, Mr. Rauf Aregbesola; and Oyo
\nState Governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi.<\/p>\n

Also present were the governors of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike; Edo State,
\nMr. Godwin Obaseki; Abia State, Okezie Ikpeazu; Enugu State, Ifeanyi
\nUgwuanyi; Akwa Ibom State, Emmanuel Udom; and Ebonyi State, David Umahi.
\nThe geputy governors of Anambra, Dr. Nkem Okeke and Cross River State,
\nProf. Ivara Esu, were also present.<\/p>\n

The governors also agreed to collaborate in the growth of their respective
\neconomies while emphasising the need to develop strategic infrastructure
\nprojects within the states in the South-east, South-south and South-west.<\/p>\n

The communiqu\u00e9 read in part: \u201cThe Southern Governors\u2019 Forum at its meeting
\nin Ikeja restated their commitment to a united, indivisible Nigeria. The
\nsummit also reiterated its position on true federalism and devolution of
\npowers.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt restated its commitment to collaborate with one another for the growth
\nand development of their economies. The summit restated commitment to
\nsecurity of lives and properties of the citizens<\/p>\n

\u201cThe summit also emphasised the need for effective linkage of good
\ninfrastructure within the sphere of Southern Nigeria. The summit
\nunanimously appointed Governor Ambode as chairman and Governors Dickson
\nand Umahi as co-chairmen.\u201d<\/p>\n

The forum scheduled to hold its next meeting to take place in Port
\nHarcourt, Rivers State.<\/p>\n

Before the meeting, Ambode had said in his address that was still a lot to
\nbe done in terms of the current structure of the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is certainly a lot to be done about true federalism, an issue that
\nrequires urgent, meticulous and proactive attention from the forum.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo less disturbing is the failure to undertake the periodic review of the
\nrevenue allocation formula as provided for by the 1999 Constitution to
\nreflect evolving realities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is another critical matter that ought to engage this forum in order
\nto enhance the viability of the state and local governments as well as
\ntheir capacity to fulfill their developmental roles in the polity,\u201d the
\nLagos governor had said.<\/p>\n

He lamented that states \u201care being disparaged for always carrying begging
\nbowls to Abuja in the quest for handouts from the federal government\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a function of our present National Constitution that burdens the
\nfederal government with activities and responsibilities that rightly fall
\nwithin the province of the states,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Ambode noted that the productivity and revenue-generating capacities of
\nmost of the states were being stifled, effectively turning them into no
\nbetter than street beggar states incapable of even meeting the routine
\nobligations of paying workers\u2019 salaries and pensions without federal
\nsupport.<\/p>\n

Citing the example of Lagos State in the struggle for true federalism,
\nAmbode explained that the state had fought and won several legal battles
\nsince 1999, which he said had systematically strengthened her autonomy and
\nenhanced her fiscal viability.<\/p>\n

Over the years, he said, the state \u201chas won legal control over the
\nmanagement of its environment, control of urban and physical planning,
\nregulation of overhead masts, registration and regulation of hotels and
\nrestaurants, and control of her inland waterways\u201d.<\/p>\n

He said the victory did not belong to Lagos alone, but to all other states
\nin the federation and which they must explore significantly.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe if Lagos has been able to achieve so much fighting
\nsingle-handedly, the forum can accomplish much more by thinking, planning,
\nstrategising and acting together,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He added that the constitution amendment was coming at a most appropriate
\ntime, stating: \u201cAs you are aware, the Senate and House of Representatives
\nare currently harmonising their differences on the proposed amendments of
\nthe 1999 Constitution before they are transmitted to the state House of
\nAssemblies for approval.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is important for this forum to comprehensively look at the proposed
\namendments with a view to working with our respective House of Assemblies
\nto ensure a coordinated response on our part that will strengthen the
\npractice of democracy, federalism, constitutionalism and the rule of law.\u201d<\/p>\n

Giving insight into the genesis of the summit, Ambode said one of his
\npredecessors, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, in 2001 had started it, pointing
\nout that the forum held nine meetings within a period of four years with
\nenviable achievements.<\/p>\n

He listed some of the achievements of the forum before its last meeting in
\nLagos on February 25, 2005, stating that the forum became a significant
\nvoice on matters of critical importance both to the South and to Nigeria
\nas a whole.<\/p>\n

He noted that the first achievement of the forum was its collective
\nadvocacy for the special allocation to oil producing states from the
\nFederation Account, which according to him, resulted in the current
\nderivation formula of 13 per cent accruing to the oil producing states.<\/p>\n

Ambode also explained strategic contribution that the forum amade to the
\ncountry\u2019s governance structure, noting that the forum strengthened the
\ncountry\u2019s practice of true federalism, which he said was evident in a
\njudgment the Supreme Court delivered in 2002.<\/p>\n

He said the Supreme Court had declared illegal and unconstitutional the
\npractice of deducting monies from the Federation Account as a first line
\ncharge for the funding the oil Joint Venture Contracts, Nigerian National
\nPetroleum Corporation (NNPC) priority projects, servicing of the federal
\ngovernment\u2019s external debts, the judiciary and Federal Capital Territory,
\namong other federal obligations.<\/p>\n

In the same case, Ambode noted that the Supreme Court had also abolished
\nthe special funds created by the federal government to enable it draw
\nfunds from the Federation Account to pay for matters that fell within its
\nexclusive responsibility before sharing whatever was left with the state
\nand local governments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
