Lagos state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has been elected as the chairman of the South West Governors’ forum.
All six governors of the southwest governors were present during the closed-door meeting on Monday, June 10, in Lagos, where Sanwo-Olu was elected.
He took over as forum chairman six months after the death of the former governor of Ondo state, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, who passed away on December 27, 2023.
The forum also unanimously adopted “Iṣẹ̀ wà fùń Ilẹ wá” song as Southwest (Yoruba) anthem, going forward.
As part of his first duties, the forum chairman directed the commissioners of agriculture to set up a working template for combating food insecurity issues.
