PRESIDENT ON CLOSE DOOR MEETING WITH GOVERNORS

President Goodluck Jonathan on Tuesday met behind closed doors with governors of the North-East states of Adamawa, Borno and Yobe.

The meeting which was aimed at finding a lasting solution to the insurgency in that part of the country was also attended by security chiefs and relevant ministers.

All those who spoke with State House correspondents at the end of the meeting expressed the hope that elections would hold in the troubled parts of the country next month despite the violence there.

They however said the need for the deployment of more troops to the troubled areas ahead of the elections formed part of discussion at the meeting.
