“It is a testimony to our strength and resilience as a people that, despite the huge losses incurred because of these terrible incidents, we have bounced back, with our economy as vibrant and virile as ever. I have no doubt whatsoever that our prospects are as bright as ever and the best lies ahead of Lagos State and Nigeria.” governor Sanwo-Olu said

The governor said his administration will ensure the provision of a safe platform, through the ministry of justice, where young people can register complaints that border on human rights violations.

Sanwo-Olu also said the government is seeking ways to improve security in the state, adding that his administration is focused on establishing measures that will guarantee the safety of lives and property.

“We will make it easier for our young people to initiate formal complaints on human rights violations through the Ministry of Justice,” he said.

We will also improve the coordination between the state government and the security agencies, including the police and the military. In this vein, we are studying how to improve security policy formulation, information sharing, and clarifying rules of engagement in times of social unrest.

Just as we have established a mechanism to compensate all those who lost homes, businesses, and livelihoods to the violent destruction of October 2020, we shall also establish a detailed procedure for the just compensation of citizens with verified claims of police brutality committed during the protests.”he said
