Lagos Government Commends Peaceful Protests and Announces New Relief Measures
The Lagos State Government has praised the peaceful nature of recent protests across the State. Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu highlighted that this is the ideal behaviour for Lagosians.
In a statement released by Commissioner for Information & Strategy, Gbenga Omotoso, it was noted that while business activity had slowed in some areas due to concerns about potential violence, the feared disruption did not materialize.
Lagosians demonstrated a commitment to peaceful protest while expressing their grievances about the widespread hunger.
The Federal Government’s response to the food crisis includes opening the National Grains Reserve and suspending import duties on food items, which is expected to help address food shortages and lower prices.
Additionally, the state government plans to reinstate Sunday Markets with a 25% discount on food items and continue its free medical outreach, which will provide no-cost treatment to thousands.
The 25% discount on transportation fares and other relief measures will also persist.
Given the actions taken by both Federal and State Governments, it is suggested that the protesters consider ending their demonstrations, as their concerns have been acknowledged.
The statement also commended the professionalism of security agencies, including the Lagos State Police Command, the Department of State Services, the Military, Civil Defence, and local organizations, for maintaining peace during this period.
Lagosians are encouraged to resume their activities with confidence, assured that security forces will ensure the safety of the State and the smooth operation of businesses.

Parents are advised to keep their children at home, and teachers are instructed to follow union directives. Efforts to reach officials for comment were unsuccessful.
