Catholic Bishops Urge Peaceful Conduct for August 1 Protest

In anticipation of the nationwide protest scheduled for August 1, the Catholic Bishops of the Ibadan Ecclesiastical Province have issued a call for participants to conduct themselves with civility and respect.
Following a meeting at the Domus Pacis Pastoral Institute in Igoba, Akure, Ondo State, the bishops emphasized the importance of maintaining order and peace throughout the demonstrations.
The communiqué, signed by Archbishop Gabriel Abegunrin of the Ibadan Catholic Archdiocese and Bishop John Oyejola, underscores the significance of protests being conducted in a manner that reflects the democratic values they are meant to uphold.
The bishops highlighted that while the right to protest is a fundamental aspect of democratic societies, it must be exercised responsibly and without causing disruption to others.
The statement outlined that the purpose of the protests should be clear and solely aimed at addressing the issues at hand, without creating unnecessary disturbance or conflict.
It is crucial for organizers to ensure that the demonstrations are carried out in an orderly fashion and to be mindful of those who choose not to participate, respecting their right to abstain from the protest.
Furthermore, the bishops urged security agencies to protect the protesters from any form of violence and to ensure their safety throughout the demonstration.
They also appealed to all levels of government to address the concerns and hardships faced by Nigerians more effectively, suggesting that a more prompt and attentive response could have potentially mitigated the need for such protests.
In conclusion, the bishops called on both protesters and authorities to act with responsibility and consideration, aiming for a peaceful and constructive expression of dissent that respects the rights of all individuals involved.

Sanwo-Olu Promises to Improve Traffic with New AI Powered Technology

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has made it clear that his government will not tolerate any form of assault on officers of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA). Speaking through his deputy, Dr Obafemi Hamzat, at the Second Lagos Traffic Conference on Tuesday, the governor said anyone caught attacking traffic officers will be made to face the law.
The event, held in honour of LASTMA’s 25th anniversary, brought together key stakeholders to reflect on traffic challenges and explore new solutions under the theme: “Enhancing Traffic Efficiency and Safety on Lagos Roads: Challenges, Opportunities, and Innovations.”
Sanwo-Olu praised the efforts of LASTMA officers who he said work in tough, often dangerous conditions to keep Lagos roads under control. He acknowledged their sacrifices and dedication, saying their presence is the thin yellow line between traffic order and chaos.
“I truly commend every LASTMA officer for your courage and commitment. You’ve stayed strong even when the job puts you at risk, and that speaks volumes about your dedication,” he said. He also paid respects to officers who died in the line of duty, calling them heroes whose sacrifices would always be remembered.
Looking ahead, Sanwo-Olu shared plans to modernize LASTMA with technology that fits today’s traffic demands. He said the government would increase investment in smart systems such as AI-powered tools, automatic number plate recognition, and drone surveillance. These tools, he explained, will make it easier to monitor traffic in real time, respond quickly to incidents, and improve the overall movement of vehicles across Lagos.
