The Lagos State Government led by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Monday hailed protesters in Lagos for their peaceful conduct and announcement to put an end to their protests following the broadcast by President Bola Tinubu.

Sanwo-Olu said:  “Your stoppage of  the protest today is a crystal clear affirmation of the fact that you know your collective voice has been heard by the government. What you have done is not only noble but the civilised thing to do.”

In demonstration of the Lagos State Government’s commitment to continuous engagement with the youth, Sanwo-Olu has directed that despite the stoppage of the protest, the dialogue and engagements which the state government initiated prior to the action must continue.

Consequently, the Governor has directed Ministry of Youth and Social Development; Ministry of Information and Strategy and Office of Civic Engagement to immediately open wider channels of engagement with various stakeholders, including the protest leaders.

The Executive Council members in charge of the Ministries can be reached on the following dedicated Citizens Access Lines:  Office of Civic Engagement +234 802 522 4347;  Ministry of Information & Strategy +234811965788; Ministry of Youth & Social Development +2347077178295.

He urged Lagosians to be vigilant and shun any avenue to instigate war.

He said, "Now it is fit and proper to, once again, warn our citizens to be very vigilant. Those who seek to divide us are yet to give up. They may continue to post fake news via audio and video channels. 

"Lagosians must never give room to war mongering, scare mongering and rumour mongering. That is not our way; that is not who we are. That is not our style."

He enjoined all Lagosians to continue their businesses without any fear whatsoever.
