Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has commended the suspension of the EndBadGovernance protest in the state.
Governor Adeleke also praised the organizers and protesters for maintaining peace and order during the six days of the protest.
The governor extended his commendation through a statement by his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, in response to the announcement made by the protest organizers, the Coalition for Concerned Nigerian Citizens, Osun State.
He said, “I commend the Osun State youths who have peacefully expressed their concerns and agitation for good governance in Nigeria. They have maintained the peace and tranquility that Osun State is known for. I thank them for making Osun a model of good practices.
“For us as a state, we remain focused on promoting policies and programs that will benefit our people and our society. We are paying bursaries to students; we have disbursed almost four billion naira to cooperative bodies in the state to support SMEs; we are building several roads and bridges; we are settling inherited salary and cooperative deduction debts; we are renovating health centers and educational facilities; and we will soon conclude the ongoing teachers’ recruitment exercise and announce the launch of the Imole Youth Corps.”
“My appreciation also goes to the security agencies and various commanders for demonstrating uncommon synergy. The united and efficient approach coordinated by my security team is another example Osun can share with other entities in the country.”
