Northern Senators elected to the National Assembly have commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for ordering the release of minors arrested and detained during the #EndBadGovernance protests.
The lawmakers made the stated the commendation under the aegis of the Northern Senators Forum.
In a statement signed by its Chairman, Abdulaziz Musa Yar’adua, on Monday, the lawmakers stated that Tinubu’s decision demonstrates his commitment to protecting the rights and well-being of Nigeria’s youth.
The statement read, “By his directive to the Attorney-General of the Federation, Lateef Fagbemi, to expedite the release process, this is a welcome development. And we appreciate the President’s leadership in addressing this critical issue.
“I would also like to acknowledge the efforts of leaders in the North who have worked tirelessly to secure the release of these minors. Their dedication and advocacy have been instrumental in bringing this matter to the forefront. And we are grateful for their commitment to the welfare of our young people.
“As we move forward, I urge leaders in the North to prioritize the safety and education of our children. It is essential that we create an environment where they can grow and thrive, free from harm and exploitation. Let us work together to ensure that our youth receive the support and resources they need to become active contributors to Nigeria’s growth and development.”
Recall that President Tinubu had directed the immediate release of all the detained minors in detention. This follows the outrage that trailed their arrest and arraignment over the #EndBadGovernance protests held in August.
