''The country cannot decide to entirely ban importation of foreign products but look for ways to create competitive markets to compete with imported products.
''The Nigerian economy needs to be diversified especially towards agriculture.''
Also, the governors agreed to implement uniform programmes that will impact on the lives of the governed as from May 29.
They further agreed that from the day of inauguration, their activities will set the pace for others to follow hence the need for action and not a replication of promises.
According to NAN, resource persons were on hand to brainstorm with the governors on insecurity, economy, governance, and infrastructure development, among others.
