The Lagos Planks and Building Materials Market Association and States Sellers Association
has called on its members and all Nigerians to shun the proposed protest and allow the government to implement its policies.
This appeal was made in Lagos by the association’s president, Alhaji Lateef Adelodun and all the members of the group.
Adelodun stated that protest is not the solution to the country’s problems and that citizens should allow the government to seek solutions. “We should allow the government to focus on lifting Nigerians out of hardship and implementing the promised 70,000 Naira wages for workers. They should also be allowed to resolve issues in all sectors so that life will improve for all Nigerians.”
”The United Nations has warned that some bad actors might hijack protests, similar to how Ugandan President Museveni cautioned his citizens against demonstrations. The recent events in Kenya have not been favorable for its citizens. The Nigerian government should ensure the security and protection of its citizens in all areas, including roads, power supply, schools, and health centers. Kudos to the Lagos State Government, which as been taking security matter serious due to significant investment in security, and all the states too should try and emulate this good thing.
He used this opportunity to urge the federal government to support the association’s collaboration with the Ministry of Environment. He emphasized the need for empowerment through better equipment for tree planting and seed provision. “If we cut one tree, we should be able to plant ten to replace it,” he said.
Adelodun mentioned that there is ample land available in all states, and members across the country have agreed to replant trees. He added that this initiative would help combat climate change.
“We should give the federal government more time to address Nigeria’s problems, and I believe we will smile in the end,” he added
Alhaji Lateef Adelodun and its associate advise Nigerian……..to stay away from the protest.
