Governors of Nigeria’s 36 states are set to meet on Wednesday to perfect plans to demand a financial bailout from the Federal government to pay salaries.

Dozens of states owe their workers for several months, and their governors blame the dismal revenue they receive from Abuja.

The monthly allocations dwindled since 2014 due to falling price of oil.

The governors, who are meeting under the aegis of the Nigeria Governors Forum, NGF, would be discussing as a unified group for the first time after its election of 2013 broke the NGF into two factions led by former governors Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers and Jonah Jang of Plateau states respectively.

The NGF meeting is to take place at the Lagos/Osun Hall of Transcorp Hilton Hotel, Abuja by 10 a.m.

The governors had earlier on Tuesday met on the platform of their parties, the All Progressives Congress, APC, and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

Both meetings discussed the precarious financial situation across the states and resolved to present a common request for help to the Federal Government.
