The Governors' meeting with officials of the United Nations was compelled by unfolding developmental challenges bedeviling the states within the region and the urgent need to solicit for international interventions in the region across critical areas of the economy. 

A statement by Sanusi Bature Dawakin-Tofa, the Spokersperson to Kano state Governor explained the Governors in the region pushed for development agenda for the Northwest. 

The statement emphasized that the first joint meeting of the North West Governors with the UN officials enable avalanch of opportunity to relate issues on health, education, security, agriculture and other salient matters overstretching the capacity of States. 

In their collective submissions, the North West Governors sought for accelerated interventions of the United Nations through it's agencies and volunteers to rescue the region from multiple concerns threatening the survival of the region. 

Recall that the North West Governors were recently hosted on a security symposium by US Institute of Peace to broaden knowledge on strengthening conflict prevention in the region.
