Nigeria Governors Forum, NGF, is meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the
Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The delegation led by the Chairman of NGF and governor of
Zamfara state, Abdullaziz Yari arrived at the venue about 12:30pm and went
straight to the New Banquet Hall at Aso Rock.

states are facing as well as insufficient fund to pay salary. Before the
delegation of the NGF arrived, Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State had met
President Buhari to brief him on the alleged threat by the Fulani
sociocultursl Association Miyatti Allah Kauta, (MAYTTI) over the anti-grazing
