There is need for the Federal Government to re-invest its scarce resources in Lagos State to rebuild the vandalized public infrastructure in the State.
Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai when he visited the State House in Marina to commiserate with Governor Babajide Sanwo-olu, over the coordinated arson sparked by the #EndSARS protest.
Kaduna State Governor said his Lagos Counterpart did all that was needed to be done to prevent the recent youths protest against police brutality from degenerating to violence.
Mr. El-Rufai however noted that those who thrived in violence infiltrated the protest to achieve their agenda of wreaking a large-scale destruction on public assets and infrastructure in Lagos.
He sympathised with the police and those who lost loved ones in Lagos in the wake of the violence, saying the Federal Government must not allow wanton destruction of public assets to happen again.
In his remarks, Governor Sanwo-Olu said although Lagos had started to look forward and engage in new partnerships towards restoring the lost assets, he vowed to make the State uncomfortable for those with the intention to destroy the State’s economy and heritage.
Despite the ugly incident that trailed the protests, Governor Sanwo-Olu said his administration remain committed to getting justice for those who were brutalised by the disbanded Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) team of the police.
