Having inspected the level of destruction cause by hoodlums under the guise of #EndSARS protesters, the South West caucus of the Nigeria Senate has said it would urge the Federal Government to assist Lagos state in rehabilitating affected structures across the state.
The leader of the caucus, Senator Ajayi Boroface ,Tuesday gave the assurance during his address to the state house correspondents when he led 16 members of the caucus on a condolence visit to Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu at the Lagos House, Marina.
He stated that the Senate would urge the federal government to assist Lagos State government financially to cushion the effect of damages done by the hoodlums as the state government cannot handle it alone.
He said, “the damages done cannot be handled by Lagos alone.”
“We are going to move a motion to urge the federal government to come to the assistance of Lagos State because the damage done to Lagos cannot be handled by the state government alone.”
The senate would work with the state governments to ensure that the demands of the youths are met, he added.
“On our part as Senate, we are working with state governments to ensure those demands by the youths that require our approval will be done quickly.
“We are indeed very unhappy that at this stage in our history- this type of damage had been done to Lagos State. We pray that this type of thing will not happen again. We all have a role to play to ensure the state move forward. I want to plead with the media to put Nigeria first,” he said.
“And we also hope that those who are in governance and those who are out of governance, will have a role to play to ensure that this country move forward.”
The senators include: Akinyelure Patrick Ayo (Ondo Central), Tofowomo Nicholas (Ondo South), Tinubu Oluremi Shade (Lagos Central), Adeola Solomon Olamilekan (Lagos West), Amosun Ibikunle Oyelaja (Ogun Central).
Others are: Odebiyi Akinremi Tolulope (Ogun West), Bashiru Surajudeen Ajibola (Osun Central), Fadahunsi Francis Adenigba ( Osun East), Oriolowo Aderele Adeyemi (Osun West), Folarin Teslim Kolawole (Oyo Central), Buhari Abdulfatai (Oyo North), Balogun Kola Ademola , Adetunmbi Olubunmi (Ekiti North), Bamidele Micheal Opeyemi (Ekiti Central) and Olujimi Abiodun (Ekiti South).
