Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun state disclosed on Sunday that he is planning to have a comprehensive dialogue with organizers of upcoming national hunger protest alongside stakeholders in the security and civil societies tomorrow, Monday, July 29, 2024.
Recall that some young Nigerians are planning to hit the streets to protest against high food prices in the country and the nationwide protest is scheduled to begin on August 1, 2024.
A statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com by the governor’s spokesperson, Mallam Olawale Rasheed noted that Adeleke has instructed his team members to reach out to representatives of various civil society groups and student bodies for a dialogue session on the state of the economy.
Stressing the importance of dialogue in state governance, the governor further requested key commanders of Police and other security agencies to attend the session where stakeholders will be free to make recommendations on their grievances and expected responses from government at all levels.
‘I have instructed my team to organize a dialogue session on Monday where stakeholders can jaw jaw as part of peacemaking in the exercise of constitutional rights. The session will afford parties to list grievances and what they expect the government at all levels to do.
We will convey outcomes of the session to government leaders from myself to Mr President in Abuja. It will also be an opportunity to tell stakeholders what we are doing as a government to resolve the economic hardship facing our people’ the governor was quoted as saying.
While reaffirming his firm belief in the national constitution and rights and. liberties enshrined in it, Governor Adeleke emphasized the need for peace and non-violent actions among which are dialogue sessions slated for Monday.
‘Osun is a peaceful state where proactive steps are ongoing on food security, economic revival and state building to deliver good governance and dividends of democracy.
We have to sustain the peace even as we make our feelings about the state of the nation known to the leadership. We will listen and we will act in the best interest of the citizenry.
In the midst of positive transformation ongoing in our dear state, we cannot afford any criminal hijacking of liberty processions. That is why the Monday dialogue promises to achieve a lot’ he added-Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us? Do you want us to cover your event or programme?
