Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>As socio-economic activities gradually return to Lagos, some residents in the Lekki area of the state are calling for public enlightenment on the need to embrace peaceful protests and strategic actions to achieve desired goals.<\/p>\n

NAN reports that Lekki Phase 1 and other parts of Lagos have remained peaceful as the nationwide #EndBadGovernance protest continues.<\/p>\n

The Lekki Phase 1 area of Lagos did not record any protest on Thursday and had not recorded any as at the time of this report on Friday.<\/p>\n

NAN reports that the ongoing protest which began on Thursday is scheduled to last for 10 days to draw the Federal Government\u2019s attention to the economic hardship facing Nigerians.<\/p>\n

Some residents, who spoke to NAN, commended security agents for ensuring peace in the area.<\/p>\n

One of them, Mr George Ikenna, told NAN that the residents\u2019 association provided extra security measures in the area.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were assured of security by the leadership of the residents\u2019 association.<\/p>\n

\u201cSecurity operatives displayed maturity.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe applaud the police, and hope they will keep up the good work; we need peace in the nation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Another resident, Mrs Petra Nnaji, said that the protest should be peaceful everywhere, adding that there was no reason for chaos.<\/p>\n

\u201cProtesters should be enlightened on how protests are done to achieve the aims and objectives.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet us hope our leaders will address issues being raised so that we can maintain peace in the country,\u201c she said<\/p>\n
