Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has called for calm over the protests in some parts of the state as a result of the naira scarcity.
The Governor noted with deep concern the hardship citizens are going through as a result of the new Naira redesign policy.
The Governor said he believes there is no need for violence as the Supreme Court is looking into this controversial matter and will make its position known on February 22.
According to a statement by his commissioner for information and strategy, Gbenga Omotoso, the governor said Lagos State has since joined the legal dispute- all in the interest of its people – in the belief that the highest court in the land has the capacity to adjudicate on the matte
He added that the fuel situation is easing following some steps taken by the government.
Sanwo-Olu praised Lagosians for showing understanding, despite the pains that the Federal Government’s measures have brought.
The governor urged residents to continue to be law-abiding by shunning any form of incitement by mischief makers, adding that he is working with his colleagues to ensure that the hardship does not go on.
