Sanwo-Olu Calls for Unity and Highlights Reforms Amid Protests
In a recent statement on his X handle, the Governor of Lagos emphasized his commitment to the state’s well-being and prosperity, amid ongoing discussions about protests aimed at “bad government.”
While acknowledging the challenges Lagos faces, the Governor expressed concern that protests might undermine the progress made rather than address the root issues.
The Governor highlighted recent government efforts to improve the state’s economic situation, including President Tinubu’s new minimum wage law, student loan disbursements, and local government financial autonomy.
Additionally, initiatives such as the sale of crude oil to local refineries in Naira and the Presidential Initiative on CNG are aimed at addressing the foreign exchange crisis and attracting private investment.
The Governor also pointed to Lagos’ EKOCARES program, which includes measures like discount markets, reduced transport costs, and free medical care, as part of the state’s effort to cushion the effects of economic reforms.
Increased bursaries, scholarships, and free education for new elementary students are also part of the state’s commitment to its people.
Reflecting on the EndSARS protests of 2020, the Governor cautioned against allowing history to repeat itself, citing the destruction of valuable properties and the economic setbacks that followed.
He urged Lagosians to avoid economic destabilization and focus on unity, dialogue, and peaceful progress.
To facilitate safe and peaceful protests, designated locations such as Gani Fawehinmi Park and Peace Park will be secured by the Police.
The Governor concluded by calling for a united effort to build a safe, secure, and prosperous Lagos.
Health unions declare a strike, and it is stated to begin on the 15th of November, 2025.
The health unions starting this strike are under the aegis of the Joint Health Sector Unions, JOHESU, and the Assembly of Healthcare Professional Associations, AHPA.
The reason for the strike is the health salary structure and as the poor working conditions and welfare.
China speaks on the latest issue between Nigeria and the United States. After Donald Trump declared plans to take action against what he called the “Christian genocide” in Nigeria, many have reacted and shared their opinions.
China expressed disagreement with Trump’s statement, saying that religion is not a strong reason to interfere in another country’s internal affairs.
The spokesperson representing China stated that the country “firmly opposes any nation using religion or human rights as an excuse to interfere in other countries’ internal affairs or threaten them with sanctions or force.”
Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, spoke on Donald Trump’s threat to Nigeria regarding taking care of the Christian genocide.
The minister appeared as a guest on a TV program and spoke on the current situation, stating that politics has been taken too far.
The minister questioned the claims made, saying “It is an indictment that a government I am serving, anybody will allege that that government is supporting genocide, killing of Christians and I am still in that government.
This is politics taken too far. The Inspector General of Police is a Christian, the Director General of the Department of State Services is a Christian, the Chief of Defence (Staff) is a Christian.
Tell me how any right-thinking person will think that we will sit in a government and support the killing of our own people?”
