The Forum also committed to strengthening local governance and citizen participation through transparency, accountability, town hall engagements, and consultations with traditional rulers, religious leaders, civil society, youths, and women groups.
Reaffirming party unity, the PGF said Progressive Governors see themselves as trustees of the people’s mandate and pledged to continue aligning state policies with national reforms.
They expressed renewed confidence in Nigeria’s future and urged citizens to go about their lawful activities without fear, while wishing Nigerians a peaceful Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
