Organise Stakeholders’ Meeting To Avert Planned Protest— Lagos Assembly Urges Sanwo-Olu

The Lagos State House of Assembly has called on Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to organize townhall meetings with major stakeholders to address the planned nationwide protest in the State.

The lawmakers, led by Speaker Mudashiru Obasa, urged the governor to engage with elected political leaders, traditional rulers, religious leaders, and other stakeholders to calm frayed nerves and ensure protection of lives and property.

The assembly’s plea comes after a motion by Majority Leader Noheem Adams, who noted the devastating impact of the 2020 EndSARS protest on Lagos.

The lawmakers appealed to the youth to be patient with the government, citing President Bola Tinubu’s efforts to improve the country.
