President Bola Ahmad Tinubu has tasked state governors on unity and cooperation with the federal government.
This was disclosed in a statement on Wednesday by Dele Alake, spokesman to the president.
According to the statement, President Tinubu made the request during a meeting with Nigerian Governors Forum, NGF, at the Presidential Villa, in Abuja.
He told the forum that the states and federal government must work together as the country's occupants in order for Nigeria to tackle its long-standing difficulties.
'It is my belief that to conquer our nation's long-standing challenges such as poverty and underdevelopment, we must collaborate as occupants of one great house for the progress and well-being of our nation,' the president said.

Conflict Reporting is dangerous and risky. Our reporters constantly face life-threatening challenges, sometimes surviving ambushes, kidnap attempts and attacks by the whiskers as they travel and go into communities to get authentic and firsthand information. But we dare it every day, nonetheless, in order to keep you informed of the true situation of the victims, the trends in the conflicts and ultimately help in peace building processes. But these come at huge cost to us. We are therefore appealing to you to help our cause by donating to us through any of the following means. You can also donate working tools, which are even more primary to our work. We thank you sincerely as you help our cause.
