The Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu today has set up about N200m fund as compensation for Lagos residents, who are victims of EndSars Protest in the state.
The governor revealed this while holding a zoom meeting with the Executive Chairman of Agege Local Government, Alhaji Ganiyu Kola Egunjobi Jp and other Council chairmen in the state.
In a remark, Egunjobi briefed Mr. Governor about the peaceful protest in his community as residents trooped out enmasse to express their displeasure about police brutality and other burning issues.
"Today I attended a Zoom meeting with 56 other Council chairmen where we briefed Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu about the activities of EndSARS protesters in our local government areas.
"Individually we took turn.
"In my remark, I was effusive about Sunday’s peaceful protest in Agege, particularly the comportment of the protesters, who converged at the stadium marching through some parts of our area.
"I explained to the governor that no ugly incident was recorded to his delight and that of my colleagues.
"It is imperative to reiterate that Governor Sanwo-Olu today inaugurated an eight-man judicial panel of Inquiry and Restitution, charged with the receipt of petitions and investigation of police brutality in Lagos.
"His Excellency has also set up N200m fund as compensation for Lagos residents, who are victims and has demonstrated his commitment to meet protesters’ demands in no small measure.
"I urge victims from Agege to avail themselves of the window for recompense, a journey am more than willing to take with them.
"Am begging protesters to give government the benefit of the doubt and vacate the streets". Egunjobi concluded.
God Bless Nigeria!
God Bless Lagos!
God Bless Agege!
