The Ondo State government has pleaded with Nigerian students not to participate in the upcoming protest against hardship and hunger.
This is as the state maintained that Nigeria shall be great.
Making the appeal, the Senior Special Assistant on Students’ Affairs to the state government, Kevin Olaolu, said the government urged its citizens to embrace peace and dialogue.
The state government also urged its citizens to give the administration of President Bola Tinubu more time to address the pressing issues facing the nation, including the economy, security, and education.
“We urge all students to support the Renewed Hope Agenda, which aims to bring about positive change and development in our country.
“In the spirit of unity and progress, we call for peace among all Nigerian students and emphasize the importance of constructive engagement and dialogue in addressing our challenges.
“It is important to note that Ondo state students firmly dissociate themselves from any planned protests, violence, or destruction of public properties belonging to the government. We believe that change takes time, and as the saying goes, ‘Rome wasn’t built in a day.”
“Let us remain steadfast in our commitment to the progress and prosperity of our great nation. Together, we can overcome our challenges and build a better future for all. Nigeria shall be great,” the state government said.
