Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Friday appealed to Lagosians to avoid protests over the cash swap policy
He said government was working to ease the sufferings occasioned by the rejection of old notes and scarcity of new notes in the State.
“The protesters are said to be angry over the Naira redesign and its consequent scarcity that has caused so much hardship and confusion among our people.
“There is no need for violence as the Supreme Court is looking into this controversial matter and will make its position known on February 22.
“Lagos State has since joined the legal dispute- all in the interest of our people – in the belief that the highest court in the land has the capacity to adjudicate on the matter.
“The fuel situation is easing following some steps taken by the government.
“The government praises Lagosians for showing understanding, despite the pains that the Federal Government’s measures have brought. Residents should continue to be law-abiding by shunning any form of incitement by mischief makers.”
