Governor Umahi, however, pointed out that the governors have yet to choose a name for the security outfit.
The governors reached a consensus to have their state assemblies pass laws to establish their own security outfit.
They also affirmed their commitment towards concluding the establishment of the Joint South East Security Outfit to tackle the daunting security challenges in the region.
