The governors sighted at the meeting are those of Kaduna, Ebonyi, Ogun, Imo, Zamfara, Kebbi, Yobe, Lagos, Kano, Kwara, and Niger states.

The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, who told waiting reporters that after the meeting that there would be no briefing, however, said a statement would be issued on the outcome of the meeting held at the Council Chambers.
