The Lagos State Government has stated that such protests are within the rights of citizens and that there is nothing wrong with them ahead of the anticipated nationwide protests that will take place in August.

This was said on Tuesday during a meeting between the Secretaries of the Local Governments, or SLGs, and Bimbola Salu-Hundeyin, the Secretary to the State Government.

She did advise the planned protesters to exercise caution so that the protest does not degenerate into violence or destruction.

She argues that there is no need for protests in Lagos because the government has provided for the needs of its people, despite the fact that protesting is a right.

She said, “It is a legitimate right for citizens to protest, as there is nothing wrong in it, but people should be wary that it does not turn violent and destructive.

“Lagos State has done so much for its citizens that nobody in the state should stand up and say they are going to break anything.

“Sincerely, and I mean it; it is not because I am the Secretary of the State Government; I speak from my heart and God knows; there is no reason for anybody to cause any protests or riots or violence in Lagos State”.
