The Lagos State Government has watched closely today’s protest in some parts of the State and will like to put on record the peaceful conduct of Lagosians. This is the way it should be in our dear State, according to Mr. Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

We have also noticed the slowdown of business in some parts of the State, perhaps because of the fear that hooligans and architects of anarchy might force their evil design on us all and endanger our harmony. Thankfully, that did not happen. To a large extent, Lagosians have chosen to embrace peace and shun the path of destruction while expressing their views and constitutional right to protest.

The message of the protest – hunger in the land - has also been well noted. It is, however, important to reiterate the fact that the Federal Government is taking steps to reverse the situation. Besides opening the National Grains Reserve, the Federal Government has suspended import duties on food items – a measure that will, no doubt, ensure that the current food shortage is addressed and high prices are rolled back. We will work with all food distributors to ensure that our citizens enjoy the resultant price reductions.

On our part, as Mr. Governor has promised, the popular Sunday Markets will return with its 25% discount on all major food items. The Medical Outreach, which offered thousands of our people treatment free of any charge whatsoever, will also return. We are finalizing the logistics for its implementation. We will continue to ensure that all expectant women enjoy free delivery in our hospitals. The 25% slash in fares on all our transport facilities will continue. So will all the other measures we have put in place to relieve Lagosians of the burden of these times.

Considering all the Federal and State Governments have done, all lovers of peace will agree that it is time the protesters called off their action. Their voice has been heard – loud and clear.

It is also important to put on record the professional conduct of all our security agencies – the Lagos State Police Command, the Department of State Services, the Military, the Civil Defence, Neighbourhood Watch, Community leaders, Religious leaders, Resident Associations and others – who ensured that the peace we cherish was not compromised.

We will continue to engage all stakeholders to ensure that our State remains peaceful and a beacon of hope for all.

Lagosians are enjoined to go about their businesses without any fear. Security agents will continue to ensure that our State is safe and that businesses can operate without any harassment.

Propaganda govt.

A road of 700kms but they are busy sharing pics of less than 1km since October 2023 (seven months after)
.

So
@flyairpeace
sold a ticket at 120k from Abuja to Owerri scheduled to leave Abuja at 4:30 and land at 5:30. Ended up delaying until 6:18 because "no pilot". Half way on air, we were told that they can't go anymore because Owerri airport closes at 6:40 so they turned back.
Arrived at Abuja again and took more than 20 minutes before passengers were addressed and let out and another 20+ minutes to have someone tell us what will happen next. They then promised us a bus to drive us to a hotel to sleep but it's past 9pm and the bus is nowhere to be found after leaving with a few people in the first round. We are all stranded, scattered around. I myself was coming from Kano but missed my connecting flight with Dana air because Azman delayed for 1 hour+ then I went ahead to book air peace because I needed to get home today but here I am, stranded after spending over 300k on domestic flights today. When will our government and laws start protecting us from all this rubbish. If air peace knew people could sue, they won't do this.

So, my wife told me that a basket of Tomatoes that was sold for ₦42,000 two weeks back when she visited the market, was sold for ₦15,000 on Friday when she went to the same market.
Are there other food items that have witnessed a drastic drop in prices
