<\/p>\nThe founder and President of the group, Oladotun Hassan, said this in a statement in Lagos.<\/p>\n
He said that it had become imperative for governors of the region to raise the standard of welfare and education of the people.<\/p>\n
According to Hassan, the leadership of the group, as part of its resolutions on agenda to all Southwest governors, wants the them to redouble efforts at returning Southwest to its enviable position.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe hereby implore all our Southwest governors to key into Awoist ideologies of absolute welfare, education, health, agriculture\/food security, infrastructure and robust economic integration.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe issue of insecurity must be adequately tackled headlong based on simultaneous strategic planning and synergy toward attaining a progressive regional development agenda plan,\u2019\u2019 Hassan said.<\/p>\n
On the spate of herdsmen attacks in the region, the group called for the establishment of a holistic security network.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn the issue of recent herdsmen attacks, invasions and killings of innocent people, we propose an immediate panacea with the establishment of a Joint Southwest Regional Security Network (JSRSN) system.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis should be launched in collaboration with the Police, Military, Navy, Airforce, civilian vigilantes and local security groups: OPC, Agbekoya to mention a few,\u2019\u2019 Hassan, a legal practitioner said.<\/p>\n
He said that the main thrust of government was predicated upon rule of law, principles of separation of powers and good governance.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe crave that the Southwest Governors Forum (SGF) needs more vigour and innovative institutionalised ideal system and administration base, in order to build robust unity, spirit of collective responsibility and aggregated development of the region.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe call on all our Governors to embrace and adopt the \u2018Omoluabi principles and objective promotion in all government\u2019s dealings, which shall be to reduce act of corruption and mal-administration entrenched in the system,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Hassan further said that the governors of the region needed to demonstrate passion in sustaining Yoruba aesthetic cultural heritage and values.<\/p>\n
According to him, there must be a Yoruba day in a week reserved to observe etiquette, language, dress sense and values in schools, government institutions, homes and other places.<\/p>\n
He commended the Lagos State House of Assembly for conducting its parliament business in Yoruba on Thursdays.<\/p>\n
According to him, the Yoruba Language Promotion Law has equally been passed by the House and signed into law by Gov. Akinwunmi Ambode.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is an excellent innovative giant stride that needs to be transmitted, adopted and implemented by other Southwestern states too.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo this end, we crave better closeness to the yearnings and prospects of the people at the grassroots,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Hassan invited all governors, royal fathers, stakeholders, yoruba socio-cultural and youth groups to the maiden \u201cYoruba Economic Development, Peace and Security Summit\u2019\u2019 tagged: \u201cFo Ilu Mo\u2019\u2019 (Sweeping Our Land Clean).<\/p>\n
He said that the summit was slated for June 27 at Mapo Hall, Ibadan, Oyo State and that it was aimed at cross-fertilising ideas on panaceas on ailing issues of insecurity in Yoruba land and Nigeria.<\/p>\n
The group congratulated all the newly-elected Southwest governors ahead of their May 29 swearing in ceremony.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
