South-East Summit: Igbos can’t afford to be intolerant people, Soludo warns

The governors of Nigeria’s South-east region, on Thursday, converged in Owerri, Imo State for a two-day summit to x-ray the challenges of insecurity and economic disruptions facing the region and explore ways to end them.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the five governors took turns to give their perspectives on the consequences of the escalating insecurity on the once strong and progressive economy of the region.

The Chairperson of the South-East Governors’ Forum, Hope Uzodinma, underscored the need for greater unity and synergy among the five states in addressing the security breaches and declining economic fortunes of the region.
